"How many jobs have you had in the past 3 years?"
Should I include volunteer work with that?

Employees love volunteer work. At least over here they do.
I've never ever had a problem getting a job, probably because i've got x amount of unpaid hours working in a French hospital.

if you dont really have anything to offer. but consider urself a fast learner and a 'take charge' kind of person then u can ask for like 50 cents more. but then ur gonna be on commission which is gonna drop u a bit. so ur gonna prolly take a dollar or 2 cut from minimum(could be wrong, think thats how it works tho)
chances are they are gonna give u a set pay anyways and that question really doesnt apply to you

Say 10 dollars becaues its then taxed and say you deserve higher wage because you are an absolute expert in this area. (assuming you are )
commission is just hella annoying. NAG NAG NAG BUY THIS NAG NAG [insert untrue statement about item here] NAG NAG
I dunno about you americans but Canadian bestbuys are commission free.

Because when they chat shite, you can correct them. Then they get all embarrassed and refer you to someone else.

What is Maryland's minimum wage?
It wasn't my lack of experience, all the places said that they put my application on file if I reapplied, meaning that I probably would have been hired had there been positions avalible. However few places are hiring and the ones that are hiring are getting all their positions filled very quickly as so many people have gotten laid off in the past months.heggs wrote:
Yup, probably so.DoctaStrangelove wrote:
You aren't going to get the job.
I've applied for 7 jobs this summer, including one at BestBuy and none of them were hiring.
Years ago I applied with little or no job experience, they basically laughed at me right there.
I wouldn't expect much if I were you Hurricane, there's a good chance you won't get it.
That's your minimum wage? $6.55? Granted as a whole products in USA are cheaper than they are in the UK but minimum wage here in the UK is £5.50 (~$11). Unaware of your minimum wage perhaps $5 was a bit of an overstatement, but I'd only take that down to $2.50 - so say $9.OrangeHound wrote:

Minimum wage + $5 is always worth a try..
Employers won't hire him if his demands are that high ... typically the reason this question is asked is simply to see if the person puts in too high of a pay requirement. If too high, then they reject him. If too low, then (if hired), he'll be paid according to their pay scale.
$6.55 in two weeks. The store is in DC though, so 1 buck moar_j5689_ wrote:

And yeah Kyle, minimum sucks although it varies. Pretty sure Washington state has the highest.
Say 10 bucks an hour and say some really techy shit to show your boss your the expert on the subject.HurricaИe wrote:

Should I say I was on my school's honor roll for both semesters this year? That I'm good with computers? I haven't won any awards or shit for playing games.

Listing is fine. That's similar to what is done in resumes, the people reading this should understand that.HurricaИe wrote:

They have an extremely long background check for that, it takes something like at least a year. I heard someone working in Gamestop talking about how that's what they were doing but they still had a long time for the background check.Mitch wrote:

"Choose the state you are applying in from the list below."
I live in Maryland but the store I'm applying to is in DC. Do they mean which state the store I'm applying to is in?
edit: They said this is for taxes or some shit.
edit2: Figured it out
"Thank You! Your Best Buy application and assessment are now complete! If your qualifications meet our requirements, and a job opening is available, a Manager will contact you. Your application will remain active for 45 days. Thank you for your interest in employment with Best Buy!"
Now I just gotta wait...
