Well I shouldn't have to continue to sell my stuff through Craigslist to keep some dough in my back pocket: I start at Guitar Center next week.

I tried for a few parts houses and there and that's who wound up calling me back. Fine by me. At least I know this is one job I can do without a shadow of a doubt.

Thanks guys.

congrats! thinking it'll be long term, or just a stepping stone?

For the moment, it's what I'm going to do to pay off college loans, when that time gets here ...

Congrats! The economy is picking back up for sure.

Well, it's the holiday season and I suspect that was the real underlying motive for the manager hiring me.

However, already being knowledgeable concerning guitars, basses, and accessories was a big plus I'm sure. :smilewide:

Music really is my other forte besides general automotive knowledge and art.

I'll wait until January before I truly make a toast to my new job and begin to believe the economy might be crawling back out of it's six-foot hole.

Not to hijack your thread black-knight, but in addition to the contingent full-time job I started on October 11th I also got a second job (part-time) at my local Toys R Us store, which I started last Friday. I was hired, and pretty quickly too, because of the holiday shopping season (it is just a seasonal job until the beginning of January). I had to get a p/t job because I need that extra money in order to provide a Christmas for my family, and knowing a lot of boy toys (especially diecast :P ) I figured I could manage helping customers out. Congrats on the job and I hope it works out in reaching all of your financial goal(s).

Thanks all.

Let me also add there was a little more to the job than I thought; mainly getting used to the interface we use to ring up purchases, look up inventory, and so on.

Other than that, despite the fact it's been slow the past two days, it's not that tough of a job. Getting adjusted to a sort of steady job is really the biggest hurdle. I haven't been this social with people in months and it really shows. I'm usually a very extroverted person and I've sort of become a complete introvert because I never really had a reason to get out this much.

It's quite refreshing.

Congrats, dude!

Oh, and I have a son who loves Ibanez guitars....

Actually of the seven people in my family five play guitar...so I may be seeing you!

I was just in there with the boy last night. Store by us has always had very helpful, personable staff. Good luck!

I just flat out need to drive to New Jersey with my son Joel, who is seventeen and into guitars.

You and I can talk cars, and our sons can talk guitars.

We'll hire B-knight so we can have someone to translate between generations....
