A nice shirt and khakis and nice shoes will be just fine.

Don't sweat it. Remeber: You're there to find out if you want the job, not if they want to hire you.

yea. just khakis and dress shirt.

Nothing too fancy. It's just CompUSA. I remember wearing khakis with Tshirt for my Staples interview when I was 16. And I got hired.

Nothing too formal, just try to impress the boss with who you really are. Don't try too hard.

Firm handshake. Great greeting smile. Take your time while speaking, speak firmly with confidence and right speed.

good luck!

  • Don't sweat it.

All EXCELLENT advice!
  • If he asks a question and you aren't sure how to answer, clarify the question by repeating it back to him. (This will also buy you a bit of time. But it can also bite you in the rear if you do it with every question. ;) )
  • Have some questions to ask him/her. (This goes along with the second bullet point above.)
  • Confidence w/out arrogance. It's your #1 friend.
GOOD LUCK! :)

good luck, you will learn important things like

1: how to scam field destroys after you determin it needs all new parts
2: Buy tap with everything and get replacement upgrades all the time (geforce3 becomes geforce4)
3: Buy D17 items for a fraction of the normal cost (with tap) to make store numbers look good
4: resell scamed and stolen items on ebay
5: Sign coustomers up for AOL without their Knowledge
6: find out every other single employee is stealing and scamming more than you

(all from friends storys, I did not work for comp.)
