Speaker 1
I prefer playing video games than reading. I am 24 years old. I work at Best Buy. I used my employee discount at Best Buy to buy a laptop for gaming. I don't have any family members in the military. Chocolate is my favorite flavor of ice cream. Alistar is my favorite champion.

Speaker 1
How was work today? What is the business you work for? I don't think I ever caught that detail.
Speaker 2
Since I got my college degree in marketing, I work for a mom and pop advertising agency that designs ads for clients. I like it since it's basically a 9-5 job, so I have plenty of time to relax and read during the evenings.
Speaker 1
I would like a 9-5 job so that I always knew my schedule. Are you close with the business owners since it is a small company?
Speaker 2
We are very much like friends and they treat me very well. I get paid time off, a holiday bonus, and health insurance, which is great since I'm too old to be on my parents' policy now.
Speaker 1
That is nice that they offer the benefits even though they are a small company. I work at Best Buy and sometimes I wish I worked at t smaller company because I feel it would be a more close experience.
Speaker 2
You get that great employee discount, though! How much did you save on that gaming laptop you bought from Best Buy?
Speaker 1
Yes, the employee discount is nice. I should take that into consideration. I was able to buy an open box one, which they had on display, so it was marked 30% off, then I also go my 20% employee discount. I would not have splurged otherwise!
Speaker 2
You made out like a bandit on that deal! What video games have you been playing?
Speaker 1
I have been playing a lot of fortnite. So you said your family was military. Did you travel around a lot?
Speaker 2
"Fortnite" seems to be really popular among young people these days. No, we didn't travel, since my father completed his military service before I was born.
Speaker 1
Yes, Fortnite really is. Oh, there is something else we have in common (besides chocolate ice cream) my dad was also in the military before I was born. He travelled a lot. I know he was stationed in Germany for a stretch.
Speaker 2
Does he like to talk about being in the military? My dad goes on and on about it sometimes. He's never pressured me to enlist, though.

I just bought the biggest tub of chocolate ice cream.
Speaker 2
Really, did you enjoy it?
Speaker 1
I haven't eaten it yet but I know it's going to be amazing, I love chocolate ice cream so much! Do you want to come round later and share it?
Speaker 2
I would love to. I definitely love chocolate ice cream.
Speaker 1
Great, come round later and we can eat ice-cream and play some video games, if you're up for that? I just bought a new laptop for gaming!
Speaker 2
Awesome! Have you installed any game yet?
Speaker 1
Yes, I've installed fortnite and I've been playing it all week! Do you play any video games?
Speaker 2
I love fortnite. I usually love playing pubG. The game is just really engaging and amazing. 
Speaker 1
That's great, I didn't know you played pubG! I thought you were more of a reading person. I guess you have a lot of time off from your job so you have time for both!
Speaker 2
I usually play it during your spare time. What do you do during your spare time?
Speaker 1
I play video games most of the time. To be honest, sometimes I get bored with the amount of spare time I have. I really want a 9-5 job to keep me busy. What's it like working at an advertising agency?
Speaker 2
It's great! You'll learn a lot. It also increases your creativity and it gives you a better understanding of human psychology and the patterns humans follow. You'll learn a lot everyday.

Speaker 1
I've started applying for some office jobs, I need to escape from Best Buy!
Speaker 2
That is great news! I am so happy to hear that you are working towards leaving Best Buy. I know how much you disliked it. What kind of jobs are you applying for?
Speaker 1
I would like to work at a small company like you do.  Since most of my skills are just in the retail sector, I am not sure.  I like using computers so maybe some sort of computer work?  Do you have any suggestions?
Speaker 2
If you would like, I can put in a good word for you at the advertising agency that I work for. We are always having trouble with our computers. Maybe they would be open to creating some sort of IT position. I can't guarantee it but it is worth a shot, right?!
Speaker 1
That would be great! Do you know what kind of computer systems they use?
Speaker 2
I think that we use Windows 10 at my work. Is that a system that you are familiar with? 
Speaker 1
Yes I am.  I will need to update my resume, but I really appreciate your offer.  Any kind of job with your company I would be interested in learning more about.  Getting into a company like yours where you have set hours and good benefits is important for me.
Speaker 2
I feel that the tech knowledge that you gained form Best Buy and your personal interest in gaming systems will make you a great candidate for IT. I will also reach out to some of our partners and clients to see if they have any tech positions open for you. 
Speaker 1
Thank you!  I don't want to oversell myself too much though.  I don't have programming experience, I am just good with computers so maybe a regular office job would be better.
Speaker 2
Okay, I will keep that in mind. A 9-5 job with full benefits is the end goal, regardless of what the work will be. Have you heard back from any of the places that you have applied to so far?
Speaker 1
Not yet.  I don't know when I should follow up with them.  But yes, full benefits and a regular work schedule are key.  Could I send you my resume too look at after I have update it?
Speaker 2
Absolutely. I would love to take a look at it. Can I have your permission to forward your updated resume to some of my colleagues?

I like working with computers. I am familiar with Windows 10. I would like to work at the same company as my friend. I am looking for a job with set hours and good benefits. I don't have programming experience. I have not heard back from any of the jobs I have applied to. I am looking for input as I update my resume.

I have colleagues that might be interested in someone with IT experience.
Speaker 1
I started hearing back from the companies that I applied to. Some seem promising, but I was rejected from a few for not having the right experience. 
Speaker 2
Oof, sorry to hear about that. It's difficult to get the "right experience" when entry level positions expect you to already have this experience. I've talked to a few people, and they said I can bring your resume to them and that they don't mind taking a look.
Speaker 1
That would be so great, thank you so much!  Having another set of eyes on my resume might help pinpoint what is turning prospective clients off. 
Speaker 2
Are you fine if I look at it first and give some feedback on what to fix before I give it to them? They can be a bit nitpicky, but I know what they are looking for. Also, if you have spare time, why don't you try live streaming your game play? It's fun and a good way to make some pocket money. It's what I do.
Speaker 1
Oh really? I didn't realize you could make extra money that way.  That's super cool.  So you do that playing fortnite?
Speaker 2
I do it with both Fornite and PubG. I enjoy being on camera and doing funny things. So far, I have made about $50 a month. It's not a lot but it's still being paid to play games. You also don't have to be good at it, just be yourself.
Speaker 1
That's cool.  Is it weird being on camera?   I feel like I might be self conscious.   How do you just be yourself in that situation?
Speaker 2
Well, I personally love the attention.And thanks to my degree in marketing, I've been advertising myself on different platforms, which helps me bring in new people. I've even created channel points where my followers can make me say something or do something. You don't have to be on camera, though. Just have a good mic and talk a lot. I recommend you trying it! I don't mind helping you start it too.
Speaker 1
Thanks!   It would be fun to learn from you.   Do you have a lot of time for it and still hold down your job?   I meant to ask where you work.
Speaker 2
Well, I just do it for a couple hours at night. My title is "Boozy Woozy game time", which brings people in. Plus, thanks to my job, I do have a good amount of free time to work on my own projects. It's really just a small company that is close to where I live. I don't make bank, but I do make a comfortable amount. I know you said you want a new job, but what's wrong with Best Buy?
Speaker 1
I just think I have been there long enough that I want to branch into tech more with my skill set.   And honestly dealing with cranky customers all day gets really draining.  Have you ever worked retail?  The holiday season is the worst. 
Speaker 2
I've tried working retail and I got fired so fast after a customer said something rude to me. It's something I refuse to ever go back into, so I understand what you mean. Luckily, my school funds got me through life, same with living at my parents house for awhile. I hope you are able to get a better job soon. Don't forget to send me your resume!
