I cant think of any good places to work.

Im 16, and would like a job, at some tech oriented place.

 

Seems like everything needs 18+

 

Ideas?

Just try some PC stores or whatever. Or do something where you can work in the weekends, because they sometimes pay 50% more for working in the weekend

Wait, what happened to Best Buy?

 

They didn't call me back again then sent me an email saying they were not going to hire me.

Probably too young

asshats

yeah they shouldn't have told me they would call me then never call.

 

They called me, and asked a few questions, and then told me that the manager would call me back in a few hours.

No call.

 

Then 2 days later they emailed me saying I didn't get it.

/\

same boat.

Theres like no tech stores anymore. 

 

That's why you gotta make one :P (I'd love to start one, but I'm only 16... and have little business knowledge right now...)

 

Office depot? Some of their stores have a technology department, one out near me has basically their own "geek squad" type service in store.

Maybe best buy if you can deal with trying to sell people shit they don't actually need because it's "better".

 

 

I applied at office depot, had an interview, ended up getting an email a few days later basically saying "Fuck you, go look somewhere else". (Applied at ace hardware too because it's not that big of a store and I'm decently knowledgeable in the sort of stuff they sell, ended up being told they were going to look elsewhere due to availability... damn drama club taking up time that I could be using to save money for college... [Which I'll have to pay for myself...])

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W
