Part-time Repair Work?

Hi, I've never worked for Best buy but I know they can create a flexible schedule for you. You also may want to look at places such as Tandy (best buy sends a lot of their computer warranty stuff to them and there are lots of local outlets), compuUSA, Computer City. A+ certification is an entry level certification (assumes 6 months experience) so I don't think you'd have a lot of salary flexibility in the beginning. Try and argue for more by playing up your knowledge of networking (beyond A+ basics- compUSA for example, has a business networking end to it you may be able to tap). I hope this helps.

A+ Certified will start you off at a good entry level position. But part-time at Best Buy or any other big name store realy don't look at that to much. I'm not quit sure on how self motivated you are or what kind of area that you live in but I found that joining a company called handtech.com was a good investment for me. Basicly I joined, they gave me a website (www.handtech.com/schroertech) and I started my own little bussiness on the side. But you have to be dedicated to putting forth theeffort to bring in the $$$$. But so far for me it's been 100% worth it.

Just start fixing peoples computers. If you have a friend with a screwed up sound card or your aunt wants e-mail or the guy down the street needs a new hard-drive. Just start doing it for them.

If you work at Walmart hang out near the electronicsdept. and start talking with people. You will learn from them, they will learn from you. Most people would be more than happy to give you $50 to install the modem they just bought and once you have real time in real situations you will be qualified well beyond your certification.

Good Luck
