Getting a summer job at a pc shop.

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Getting a summer job at a pc shop.

Post by Bl@ck Ph@ntom »

I am 14 and I want some advice on how to get a summer job at PC shop.
At this shop they sell/repair/make custom computers. I know how to put a computer together, how to install programs/OS's, and I know some general ways to get a PC to run more efficiently. Are there any other skill I should learn before trying to get a job here? Any support would be greatly appreciated.
I am the great lurker! Fear my powers.

Dear god, they actually ported ES to a piece of celery!
