I need a part time job....

BubbaGump69 · 06-18-2005, 11:52 AM

I have been playing with computers for about 7 years now. I went to a community college and a tech school and recieved a couple of associates degrees. I know the degrees don't mean much but I'm just trying to give some background. I have built several computers from scratch and have upgraded and troubleshot many more. I would just like a part time job where I can assemble, upgrade, troubleshoot, repair computers. Any or all of the folowing. I'm not looking to make a lot of money just learn more about computers. I have a good fulltime job and just want something on the side. I have tried filling out apps at best buy and circuit city but I never get a call back. I know how to dress for interviews and act professionally. I am not some punl kid. I've been around. Anybody have any ideas on how to get a job in this industry? Oh yeah I've got my A+ if that matters......

Heyyo,

Yeah, I've done that dark. I charge $10 if I solve the problem, most people tip me a $10 ontop of that so it's cool.

Now, definately try for practicum or a part time at a local comp shop. Good experience right there. **** it, I'm gonna try reapplying at a comp shop in my town again for like, the 4th time.

Btw.. yes people, don't ever try to apply for a job in your casual wear, lol. It don't matter if your boss does, he has the job, you want the job eh?

it would be quite acceptable to charge around $35 an hour.
