Hi everyone, I'm applying for some new jobs in Sales and service. Best Buy is opening a Store here in Orem and I just did my application online a few moments ago also did one at Walmart a week or two ago. I quit my old job a month ago and have been looking for something else more inline with my experience and passion. Computers, Ellectronics and such.

Am looking for some good thoughts and prayers that my application is accepted and that I get the job. I know I've been scarce lately, that's do to working on some projects and doing a lot of thinking and discovering what I want to do with my life. I do read the forums and pray for people. Specially those in Florida. I've found a lot of answers and a lot of questions. That goes hand in hand it seems. LOL. Am now part of the BYU Outdoor Adventure Club, am the Computer Specialist AKA web master and will be leading a few trips in the coming months. Will give me a chance to get out with a cool group and also provide time to test and work with my knives. Will try to be more active here in the future. Thanks in advance,

Heber
 
You got it, Heb. Good luck with Best Buy! I know a lot of people have reservations against it, but i love the store. As a matter of fact, Best Buy gets anywhere between 50 and 100 bucks a week from me. I'm a big video game/DVD/computer junkie:) and its only a few blocks from my apartment. You're a good guy. you'll be just fine!

Good luck,
Jake
 
Heber, I expressed my opinion of you when I suggested you get in touch with Eric Larsen. Eric is a master leathersmith who would have enjoyed working with someone with the talent to become a master leathersmith, and you have talent beyond that as well.

One thing -NEVER GIVE UP. It can be a grind, but you never know when one will click and hold. Sorta like fly fishing.
 
Best wishes, prayers & luck back at ya. Appreciate your remembering Floridians, so here's the same in return. What goes around does come around... :)

Heber, for 5 bucks, we won't tell Best Buy that you hang out here.

Good luck.
 
Heber?

If you are SURE you want one of these positions...really sure...I will let you in on a secret, but sure-fire, technique to guarantee the granting of wishes.

Be positive you are sure.

ok? Ok.

Shave your legs from the knee up to your er.. let's say, 'navel.'

On the left inner thigh, with mercurochrome or iodine, paint a "plus" sign.

On the right inner thigh, paint a "minus" sign, at the same distance from your knee.

When you have the interviews, press the plus and minus signs together FIFTEEN times while sitting, and five times as you enter the room, and five times as you exit it.

If asked about your movement, just saying you are "building a charge."

I guarantee you will make a lasting impression.

No thanks necessary, pal. Good luck.

We have so much.
 
I am a retail store manager in real life. Thats how come I get to sit here on weekdays when most are at work and obsess over the possibilities of UBBB a m-43.

Only happens when I work though or have family responsibilities :confused:

Anyway I was working one day, and had an interview that was about 10 minutes late. Normally I take them if they are late, and if they can come up with a good reason, I don't count their tardiness against them. My companies stores are generally located in high traffic areas, but they are spread across the entire socio-economic spectrum, which can cause some dysfunction. At this store my desk was on a mezzanine where I could look out over the sales floor, and especially the front end. This store was one that was in a lower grade area, quite a bit below the average status, but i throughly enjoyed being there. I was completely paperwork waiting for the yahoo to show, and a bit of movement caught my eye. A gentleman was neatly dressed and was frantically trying to get my attention. I smiled and buzzed him upstairs.

He sat down, and I welcomed him in, shook his hand, and thanked him for coming in. I asked him what I could do for him.

He started telling me a story about how he was shopping in the store a couple of months ago, and started chatting with a pretty, soon he took her home, one thing led to another and he figured out she was a pro. She got hers and he "gots gonz-ga-reuh" (spelled phonetically). Now I'm apparently not a worldly man, it took a bit for that to translate into Gonorrhea. He wanted me to take his picture of her and post it on a bulletin board for fair warning of all our patrons to be aware of the special prize that she would bestow.

I was shocked. I thanked him for his coming in and that I would be happy to see if I could get a number for a clinic he could visit, which he nicely told me he could get all the drugs he needed, no thanks. And that I was sorry but I had though he was here for an interview for employment, and that I'd be happy to escort him downstairs.

Now he pulls out a ratty dogeared app and we proceed through the interview, I dare not send him away although I couldn't hire him at all.

Once he left I sanitized my desk, his chair, my hand, my phone and everything else I imagined touching.

So any Herber,

No gonz-ga-reuh stories, no charging yourself up. Smile, be polite, listen, and you looooove customers. Especially the annoying ones with kids.

(I still think the smiling and listening well are the two most important).
 
Good luck and God Bless Heber! Here's good thoughts for you, and I wish you the best.

Done did when I first read the post earlier, had some pooter trouble and had to use system restore or would've posted earlier as well.

I think 45-70 has really good advice!:D
 
Thanks a bunch guys. :D Was busy yesterday or would have responded sooner. No phone call yet, but it could take a few days, so I'm not to worried yet. Thanks a bunch for all the good advice. :) Will keep you all updated on the progress of the Applications.

Walosi, would you mind emailing me Eric Larson's information again? Was thinking about contacting him a few weeks ago, but couldn't find your email.
