Tips
Your job sounds simple — repair broken toys — but some toys that come in are wrong in ways that are hard to pin down at first. Missing something can end your shift early in the worst way. These habits will help you catch anomalies before they catch you.
- Use headphones so you can hear audio cues that signal something is off.
- Set graphics to maximum so small visual details are as clear as possible.
