In season 5 episode 12 of Pawn Stars titled "Help Wanted," the guys are looking to expand their team and searching for a new employee to work at the shop. They are on the hunt for someone who is knowledgeable about history, particularly American history and artifacts.
As the day goes on, the potential candidates come in one by one to showcase their skills and knowledge. The first candidate is a young woman who studied history in college and is eager to jump into the business. She shows her expertise in authenticating and dating documents, but struggles when it comes to negotiation skills.
The next candidate is a middle-aged man who has worked at several pawn shops before. He has a lot of practical experience with items that are brought in and has a good eye for spotting a valuable item. However, he is not as knowledgeable when it comes to the historical significance of some items.
The third candidate is an older man who has done a lot of research on World War II memorabilia. He is particularly interested in military items and has a wealth of knowledge on this subject. However, he struggles to identify other types of artifacts that are not related to the military.
After considering all of their options, the guys ultimately decide to hire one of the candidates and offer them a job at the store. As they train the new employee and show them around the shop, they encounter several interesting items brought in by customers. These include a rare Civil War-era sword, a vintage Coca-Cola vending machine, and a valuable piece of artwork.
Throughout the episode, the guys discuss the importance of having a well-rounded team with varied skills and knowledge. They recognize that not every employee can be an expert in every area, but it is important to have a team that can collectively identify and evaluate items that are brought in.
Overall, season 5 episode 12 of Pawn Stars is an entertaining and educational look into the inner workings of the pawn shop and the process of hiring a new employee. It highlights the importance of historical knowledge and expertise in the world of pawn shops and the value of having a diverse team.
