Yeah I applied for Best Buy last week (for the 4th time now), Im hoping that I can get hired there. I know its not much better, but at least its somthing that I would enjoy doing, and would help out with my future career.

I had an interview at best buy and never got called back. :(


Wonder if I should apply again? (after christmas that is haha)

I applied back in July, and they called me in august saying I would have to reapply becuase I wasnt moving til the end of august and their applications expire in 30 days. I thought that was ********, so I just transfered my current job and have worked there. Now that my friend works there, he talked to the manager so I should be getting a call here soon. Ill call when I get back home.

best buy doesn't hire people with knowledge regularly (I've done 4 interviews with them, and finally was told I can't be hired because I know too much, and they want the guy who knows enough to be dangerous so they can pay them less)

I meant if I move to geek squad, that would be good to add to my resume since my major is ITT.

anyway, best buy will pay me more than taco johns, so I cant argue that.

Nothing beats jerkin while workin.:confused:

sounds like experience talking :nana:

Didnt you say you work at an auto parts store? I will wear gloves from now on when I pick up my parts.

he gets excited by those greasy parts :lolsign:

oh, god... lol

or is it grease?

Beat itttttt... beat itttttt wank yer thing to make some money.......... Just beat it .. just beat it.

Have you left your house??? The retail business is hiring like crazy for the holiday season, granted that really isn't a good job, but you dont just wake up one day, decide to be a doctor, apply for a job, and get it... Seriously though, you can't walk outside your house without getting offered a job this time of the year. Retail might suck, but you can probably score around $10-$12 an hour, which is pretty decent with nothing brought to the table...

It would probably help in the long run. Don't listen to what Arch says about knowing too much, that is the biggest load of ******** I have ever heard, just don't go in there with the attitude that your **** doesn't stink and that right off the boat you are better than everyone else. Rome wasn't built in a day, and you're not going to go from Taco John's to a high paying tech. job.

As a matter of fact a few of my friends work at the Best Buy here, I just got off the phone with one and he said that typically guys get pulled off of the sales floor to go into the Geek Squad, so you might have to work your way up. He also said, depending on the size of the store, and if you have the guys that go to the houses to set stuff up, you might be able to apply for that right out of the box. I guess those guys get that little VW Bug to take home - hey its gay, but its free gas.

haha, yeah my friend that works there was telling me that he just gets to go over and work in geek squad sometimes, and hes a cashier. Which in a way scares me, because hes in the same classes I am, I wouldnt trust someone in their first semester of college working on my computer, but whatever. I really wouldnt care what job it is. Im into technology, so right off the bat I would be more into a job with that. As long as Im around it, and making more money, I will be satisfied for the time being.

The thing that sucks about retail is that once the holiday season is over you lose your job. That is why I'm waiting to early Jan. to go job hunting.
