How to make a CEO's life easier?

[Primzi]

Hello,

today I have paid a visit to a very successful small computer game company of 50 people. I got there after talking to it's CEO at some conference and later following up with him. I was pretty astonished by how the company works - if I had a company of my own, I would want it to be exactly like that. Even before going there, I was thinking about asking them for a non-paid internship in order to learn from them as much as possible and make their life easier. It is pretty much a dream job for anyone at my age to work in a company like that. Making video games, what else would you want?!

But when I got there, after having a long chat with the technical director, they actually offered me a job on the spot - they said that they could always use someone like me in their company, but they did not specify what exactly they would need me to do.

So I have been thinking of taking that job and saving some money while I'm at it, while finishing college so that I have some money saved up for after I'm done with college. I would also like to get some experience in how it is to lead a company, how to pitch ideas and sell products, etc. But I do not currently have any idea of what I would actually be doing in a job like that. Since I do not have any knowledge of game design etc., I do not see how I could be of any use there.

The CEO told me that I should tell them what I wanted to do in our next meeting. So if you were/are a CEO, what could a young future entrepreneur help you with? What are the problems that he could solve for you and therefore help you save time and make more money?

I guess I could tell them that I could help them with research, presentations, contacts with publishers, organization and project management, but would a CEO really trust someone he barely knows with all that stuff?

Thank you in advance for your answers,

Primoz
