    Default Geek Squad

    Sooo I applied at Geek Squad today, filling out a really huge application. What is your opinion on that?

    I'm 16 and in high school. It's right next to my house

    Hehe.

    Good fucking luck. You have a 1% chance of getting in.

    And yes I'm being optimistic.

    The only reason I say this is because I know someone who use to work in Geek Squad. He told me they get a ridiculous amount of applications. Also you usually have to work in the store for a fair amount of time before getting on the Geek Squad. (He had the privilege of having 1 of only 2 Geek Squad cars in all of West Michigan like 90% of the time)

    hmmm, aren't you the guy who didn't know anything about building your own computer a little while ago? If so, phail on the application. If not, I still doubt you will get the job

    Especially since you live in Missoula (right?). With the big college town, they would much rather higher a college student than you.

    Can't hurt to try though

    Narcle, that surprises me! The "Geek Squad" in our best buy are a bunch of idiots that don't know anything. I'm really not trying to be rude, but they really don't belong there. I could do a better job.

    Same as for me bullzeye. It took them 45 minutes to find that they just didn't use the correct power adapter for a laptop charger once. -.-

    Ejjman, good luck, and if you get in Congrats

    My friend is good at it. But he was getting sick of it. He finally got work at a pharmaceutical company as network/info computer person (idk the specifics). He way prefers it, less work and more pay.

    The 'Geek Squad' out here in California at the Best Buy I go to, you need at least a 2 year degree going towards some computer related field. So you would need like your AA in Computer Science or something of that sort.
