How You Could Make A Job Out Of Playing Games All Day!
Have you ever wondered what it could be like to have a Career which would allow you to play games for a salary, being salaried to have fun at work? Well, one such Career does exist, and it is something I wish like to discuss, as I myself have been searching for New careers for sometime, and this is one of the New careers I have looked at which has looked like a good deal of fun. The Career I am referring to is concerned with working in the Games Workshop, which is committed to showing people how to play, paint, and collect the increasingly popular Warhammer game. There are many New careers you can go into which are concerned with this game, but I wish to concentrate on the people who are at the front line of this – the shop assistants and managers across the UK.
Now, to be able to honestly consider this as a New career, you have to be, not also incredibly good at the Warhammer game (well, perhaps not good, but a good awareness of how it works and the rules are essential) you have to be a incredibly bubbly, friendly person, and able to gel well with just about any person you meet. The reason for this is very important – your aim is to attract people to the store, and attract newcomers to the game, and then get them excited enough about the game to want to come back and play even more. More importantly, you need to get them psyched enough that they are willing to spend money on the game – the Warhamer game is a pretty pricey hobby to get into, so you really do need to get people psyched and enthused to play this game and take it up as a hobby, if you are going to succeed. Now this means of course, that a large part of your Career is spent playing the game, and getting others to play as well.
It is not just about playing the game however; you will have to show a bit resourcefulness and prepare and events at your store in order to help encourage business. Painting workshops are massively popular in these shops, where people can go along and get free guidance on painting their figures, and perhaps be persuaded to purchase more paints that they could need later on, or to improve the look of their models. So it will help if you have been able to dedicate a little time to bettering your painting technique and improving on it, so you can then assist other people in their attempts to paint fantastic models.
Of all the New careers I have looked at recently, this certainly seems to be one of the most fun ones I have looked at. Indeed, when talking to the managers of different stores which are local to me, I have found that they are extremely lively, happy people who enjoy their job, and will go to great lengths to help you get familiar with the game, and make sure you understand fully what is happening when you play. This is why it is such an appealing New career to me.
