I'm applying for a job at EB and on the application it asks how much i wanna get paid. Does anyone know how much 18 yr olds get paid to work there? Or does anyone have a suggestion for what I should write?

How did you get the form? The managers just tell me to hand in my resume. No form was given to me, not at any stores i've applied so far.

something simple everyone needs to know. the minimum wage an 18yo is supposed to get on weekdays as a part time worker is $9.09.

$9.09 isn't very good. I'd be happy with $14 but is it best to not push it and write award? I already think my chances of getting a job there are low cause im a girl even though i do like games.

Haha you're a girl? Doesn't that mean you should have better job prospects since you appeal to the target market? ;)

so what about weekends, and as a casual

my friend works at Target and she gets 11.60 an hour err I work with a 15 yr old, she gets 7, a 22 year old gets 15.60, and I'm not getting paid as yet, so that's fucked.

I didn't thinks chicks actually wanted to work at EB admist the crowds of males and clueless-parents.

Btw my friend had an interview for EB the other day- he said they asked him a few Q's about gaming and upcoming consoles, etc... but then if it's anything like Sanity then you don't need "a lot of real knowledge" since they'll brief you on major news.

I thought I heard Target paid about $15/hr for 18 year olds... and that it progressively increased as age increased (assuming time worked there also increases).

Presumably so, but then at that pay rate for a student working part time- I don't think it'll be enough to surpass the tax-free threshold.

I don't think it's that low, would it be? I thought it would be like $10 at least, oh well :) I'm unemployed now, so it doesn't worry me yet :p
