Just ask for an application?

[Pastore]

Ok, I currently work for a grocery store, and for the summer I would like to get more experience in the computer field. There is a company that I am interested called Micro Trend Computers. They do things like build custom machines, service, upgrades, and networking for businesses. I KNOW that I am qualified for the job after going through the Cisco Networking Academy courses, had a month long internship at a local hospital working with their MIS department, and have worked with computers everyday for the past 4 years, building, upgrading, and repairing. My question is this, should I just walk in the store and ask the person at the counter for an application? Should I find out if they are hiring first?

Maybe you can set up the "Work at Home" installs that my company uses MicroTrend for. Don't screw it up cause i don't want to have to fix it! The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Just go there and say "Yo, niggas, set us up the job!" Honestly, i don't think you need to know all that much to work there... as long as you learn what you need to do from day to day then you'll be set. It's not so much what you know already but your ability to learn new things.

You have earned another time out. I am going to think about whether this one is permanent.
