The local Bass Pro is looking for someone to work in the "hunting department" which at this store means the gun counter plus the shooting/hunting gear. I applied online and I have an interview on Tuesday. I'll get the job. Every job I've interviewed for in the past, I've gotten. Any present or past employees with some advice or experience to share?

AND I STILL CARRY IT! jeeze...
| They are kind of like fanatic about Bass Pro, they want people who see the job as the fulfillment of a dream. They really like folks who say customer service is number one, although you will spend most of your time stocking. The employment psych exam, be very black and white. Assure them you want to work for Bass Pro forever. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Why do you need advice? Sounds like you already know everything. Pardon? As a Bass Pro employee, you know it all, and can't be convinced otherwise. Ah, yes, I've encountered that type at the Bass Pro gun counter before. Luckily I have a knack for giving advice without ramming a particular choice down someone's throat. I offer up the pros and cons. It helps that I have experience with pretty much every type, brand, and model of firearm so I'm not biased toward a particular model just because it's what I own. |

This kind of attitude does not bode well for success at this venture! |

Quoted: excuse me sir, I need to buy a handgun for home proection and i have narrowed down my choices to either a glock or a 1911. i like them both which do you prefer? Get both. If you want me to answer that seriously, just for fun... it would mostly boil down to the shooter's preferences and experience level. Do you prefer a weapon that can be carried in Condition 1? Do you prefer a weapon with an external safety? Which grip fits your hand better? Which grip angle affords you a natural point of aim? Which caliber do you prefer? Do you want to mount a light on the handgun? Once those questions, and a few others, are answered, then I can offer my best advice.

Tone down the arrogance. This..the guys at the local Bass Pro are the most arrogant fuckers I have met in a "gun store". They move like molasses in winter, talk down to you like you know next to nothing about guns. They will stand around doing nothing, and then when you ask a question, they act like you are bothering them. I have forgotten more about firearms than those fuckers will ever learn. Wait..maybe I should apply to the local one....

Considering this line of work is a perfect match to my background, I'm confident that I'll get the job. I'm currently unemployed because I've been in college and haven't been looking for a job until the last couple of weeks.

Most of them, at least in BPS's that I have been in, really have no clue about what they are selling. Most of them barely know how a 4473 needs to be filled out. My local Wal-Mart Sporting Goods counter guys know more about firearms than the BPS guys I have encountered. |

Practice standing there at the counter fucking with a rangefinder with the other employees while a customer is standing there with $1k cash in his pocket. Don't pay attention to him. Wait until he walks away. Then go back to rangefinding.
You're a cocky fucker too btw. |

Put on your FUDD gear. Only thing decent about the Pearl Bass Pro is the coconut shrimp at the restaurant. That and uncle buck's candy in the huge bags .
