Just curious, cause I've applied at a local comp shop here that now has 12 locations (they started out with 1 - the one I'm applying to). They have cashier, sales, tech, assembler jobs. I avoided cashier or sales, as it's not my thing, and even if I could get it, I wouldn't enjoy it. I requested either tech or assembler, and it looks like I might be getting the assembler job. I'm waiting on a call (I may call them back tomorrow if they don't call). I was fortunate to be able to talk to the manager one-on-one when I applied (when which I handed her my resume AND cover letter, well-written and checked).
I really want the job. Basically I'd be getting paid to do what I might be doing at home any given day anyway. Right? What kind of things or problems might I expect at this type of job? I know this particular chain quite well, have been to (and bought from) it several times, and it's nicely laid out now. But for those of you who've worked these kinds of jobs, how did you like it, and what did you do afterwards, how long did you work there? I've worked other jobs, and even work a part-time IT job. The grunt work (factory/warehouse work) I simply can't stand. I was going insane after one day. However, with my current job, I can work 6.5 hours straight and it feels like nothing at all. I feel I could easily work 40+hr weeks no problem and enjoy it. Only problem is, the job is very part time, so it won't do. It's not an assembler job though, but I'm guessing I'd enjoy that quite a bit too.
What do you all think, and what should I expect? Also, what about interviews? Do you usually go through a big interview for this type of job, or is it laid back?
Thanks all.
Figured this would be a great place to talk about this, anyhow.
