Best Buy Work?

Ascendancy · 06-19-2007, 09:43 AM

I am thinking of getting a part-time job at Best Buy, but I don't know what the credentials are to work there. I am 16 and I am very proficient with Web Design and not too bad with computers, but I wouldn't say I am a whiz-kid in any case. Anybody have any idea of how hard it is to get a job at Best Buy, what knowledge you must have, etc?

Best buy here where i live literally hired anyone that applied for 2 years for a basic job. If you wanted to be on teh geek squad they had a proficiency test to take and you had to know certain things but for a basic job they would hire anyone when they were hiring.

Do you know if there was a certain age limit(like you had to be over 18 or something like that)?
