Geek Squad Employment - Computer Skills Question?

Question

So I know computers pretty d**n well, and a buddy of mine is a manager at one of the stores for Geek Squad, he said I should look into a job their. According to their online career thingy, seems like you need to know allot... and some of which.. I don't know.

Think its possible to get a job regardless, get training in what I don't know.

Part two of this question would be... where would I go to learn more about things like operating systems and computer tasks and such? Most of what Ive learned is just from personal experiance. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

ummm. u can only try applying for a job and see how it goes...init !!!

as for learning OS's and its tasks...just carry on the way u have been...trial n error is a great learning way.

if u want to learn more advanced stuff like network admin, sql servers etc etc n etc's... u will need to enrole on a course and you'll need to pay...unless u can fiddle one out of a company for free lol :)

Answer 2

I don't think you need a college degree in Comp engineering, but an A plus certification can land you a spot... In N.Y it is mandatory to have one if your working with geek squad..

Answer 3

yes.. i work in HR and people who work for geek squad typically dont know much about computers... they are taught alot of what they know by the company...

i recommend google as a resource... just type in the subject you want to know about and you will find multiple websites that provide info on the subject... also howstuffworks.com is a great resource
