Networking helps in many areas, but they're better for the creative fields. THAT'S when you want to network. Funnily enough I only got this interview because I knew one of the managers. xD

I know right? xD It's not always true, obviously, but it's annoying when they push that it's the most important thing, only to be like "TRAINING AND EDUCATION IS REALLY IMPORTANT!!!" Mixed signals. I did a games design course for two years and that industry is about what you know and who you know. But knowing people is key in that industry. That, or making your own games and somehow being really good at it, then getting attention for it.

BUT!!!!!!!!! GUESS WHAT! I have a trial thing on Tuesday. :D And Sam has an interview on Tuesday as well! XD I got a call the day before yesterday and she told me that on Tuesday I can come in and have a look 'behind the counter' to see if it's what I want to be doing. And she said if all works out, then I'll start getting put on shifts. :] So yeah, pretty exciting! I can finally get teh moneyz!
Yay! Well hopefully it continues to work out for you and you like what you see!

Actually I find it weird. Right around the time you guys brought up the mod applications (I'm talking like days after I hear this), but one of the higher ups at my store came up to me and told me he's trying to push the general manager to move me over to another department. After getting the "mod trial" he came back to me and said he the manager got back to him and told him "he's all for it. It'd just be another few weeks." Odd how things work out like that sometimes. Good news is, it's a full-time position. Bad news, less time here while more time at the same time. Just mainly.....I won't get to talk to many of you over there in Australia for very long each day anymore. The new schedule would be from 5am-1pm Mondays-Fridays (YAY Weekends off!). So sorry Gemma. I won't get as much time to talk to you on skype anymore ;-; at least I can talk a little

Anyway I hope the best for you Xanthe! Good luck on the finalization for the job and I hope it works out well for you! Getting money is great after working.
