Proud Mamma Moment

Well, Tater quit Burger King several weeks ago and has had difficulty finding another job. However, his search has ended.
Last Friday I saw that Game Stop is opening in the mini mall on Elmendorf and recommended that Tater apply. So, he called the number from the sign and spoke to the regional manager. He asked Tater for his resume (how many 17 year olds have a resume???). So, he and I prepared a resume and mailed it off. So either Saturday or Sunday the regional manager calls for a telephone interview. He tells Tater all about the job. Then today he calls and tells Tater to fill out an online application. Not long after he called and told Tater that he had awesome references and offers him the job! All without a face-to-face interview! (I told Tater that his excellent work ethic would benefit him.) So, Tater starts next week. He'll train at one of the existing stores and then work the new Game Stop when it opens the first week of April. I can't believe how much they are paying him- it's enough to make me go "hmm". Maybe I'd like retail work (not!). He seems pretty excited about the job. There aren't too many better jobs for a young video game junkie!
