Geek Squad

Just wondering how hard it would be to land a job with the Geek Squad. I'm taking IT Essentials right now in the Cisco Adademy, and I also have several years of experience (mostly as a hobby) tinkering around with computers. I'm a bookseller at Barnes and Noble right now, and whenever there's a computer problem, instead of getting on the phone with support services, they just ask me to take care of it. For the most part, I do pretty well with the hardware aspect of computers but I could probably use some work on the software aspect. Any advice?

Like James Bond man!
I worked for Geek Squad for 5 months.
-You will feel like a dirty person working for them, they love to try to sell $300.00 in repair services for a six year old computer.
-Very Tough to get the job, they have 100 people at all times waiting in line for a job.
-Double Agents go to people houses and rack up the 500.00 bills
If you are not a manager at best buy, or any retail store for that matter, They dont give one peice of crap about you.
You'll regret even trying to get a job there, its hell on earth.

JD, looks like they are only in California. I think somebody should start a company like that, have people drive around in camo colored Hummers, with big 50 caliber machine guns mounted on top, with the words "Computer Bug Blaster" painted on the side of the guns.

Errors in your CCNA text book? Never mind, the authors don't care.
that's funny I just applied to geeksquad online for a second job ....
i hope they don't call me ...
besides the online screening, background check , and pesonality inventory are lame ....
Wow, glad they didn't call me back.......
I applied at Best Buy and the guy said he will call and he never did...
I went back again and he said he will call and he didn't... I applied at Compusa about 10 times...... nothing.....
They have some **** people working there too...... all I wanted is a second job for a little extra cash.....
