08 Feb 10 “Applicants with volunteer work in their background are also sought in the gaming database management industry, because it shows motivation and passion,” quote Stirrup Castrellon

“With the recent boom in the gaming database management market, we’re looking to hire 100 new employees in a range of different jobs,” exclaimed Carolyn Glapion, HR Director for Rasheeda Furne INC. Typically, job application requirements at Rasheeda Furne INC are stringent: extensive corporate experience, a strong education, and proven communication skills are required to secure even some of the lesser middle management positions. This speaks to the up and coming nature of the gaming database management industry as a place for highly motivated individuals to stake their careers. In addition to standard benefits packages, most gaming database management firms offer stock options to upper management applicants as a way to bulk up their employment offer. Options can be very valuable, and generally provide employees with a great level of motivation to excel and grow the particular gaming database management business they are involved with. “It’s always hard finding work after college,” remarked Modafferi Oden, an HR rep with Tooks Bernasconi INC, “and we realize that. As a result, we provide new gaming database management business hirees with substantial benefits to stay onboard and grow their career with us.” This attention to the needs of entry level employees has earned Tooks Bernasconi INC the reputation of being one of the best places to work - whether just starting out or seasoned with years of experience. Some businesses even require gaming database management job applicants to complete a short essay and aptitude test, in order to weed out anyone who skews their educational background. “This test is not meant to scare off prospective hirees,” said Hogsett Ahlberg, “but we want to see how they can apply the skills they have to the real life needs of written communication and critical thinking.” As a result, those with strong liberal arts backgrounds tend to do well and land the highest percentage of entry level jobs throughout the gaming database management industry as a whole. Up until about five years ago, employment in the gaming database management corporate field was stymied in part by poor industry performance and slow stock value growth. With the dawn of the internet, however, this trend changed, and has generated a hiring boom that many companies have a hard time managing. “Our HR department is by far the largest unit at Ardella Kaffka INC,” said VP of Communications Mechelle Mcevers, “and rightly so: with stock par values increasing by the month, we need more and more hirees to satisfy our growing corportate needs.” Old fashioned human networking is still one of the most tried and true methods of gaining a top paying job. Says Schuble Couser, CEO of Gaser Wider INC: “It’s important for all our top hires to know individuals within the industry and individuals within our company. This makes marketing and sales work much easier and more efficient. So, if your Uncle Bob at a major gaming database management firm offers you a job, you’re advised to take it.” Some major universities have alumni related networking programs, where recent grads can find their way into jobs by contacting past graduates of their institution. In general, the gaming database management sector finds most of its new hires this way. Don’t forget to look at admin oriented jobs in the gaming database management field. These positions are always in demand and require diligent and dutiful workers. Career growth within the admin department of a given company may be slow, so prepare yourself to look outside the box at other firms who are seeking employees with your skill set. “Last month, after the closure of Geisel Truslow INC, we hired nearly half of all their admin staff in one week,” cried Georgeann Lemmings, an associate partner at Fondow Svetz Partners INC, “and this has really helped our business in many ways and given these people another chance at having meaningful employment in this gaming database management industry.” After being hired, expect to have a brief but intensive period of probation before you get your foot completely in the door. According to Uhlich Pyrdum, a senior manager with Minta Benbrook INC, “We believe this time gives us an opportunity to evaluate new hires and decide if we made the right decision in offering them work. If they don’t pass this temporary evaluation period, we offer the job to anyone on our waiting list.” Generally speaking, weed outs in the gaming database management field after being successfully hired are low, because job application tests and requirements are very strict.
