How dressed up do you have to get for these?

I just want a side job to earn some extra cash on the side while in school.

I have interviews wit Home Depot and Circuit city coming up this week. Any suggestions?

seriously?

2/24/2008 10:18:38 PM

business casual for Circuit City


the guy that wore formal to the Circuit City interview was 56 years old and had just recently been layed off by Compusa.

not sure about HomeDepot, probably business casual as well.

wear khakis and a polo


it's just gonna be a bunch of good old boys interviewing you

2/24/2008 10:19:12 PM

sweet deal

besides TRV, I was impressed with the level of responses from Chit Chat as oppossed to the lounge

2/24/2008 10:21:58 PM

i'd go khakis, a shirt and tie. rolled up sleeves like you mean business!!!1

Don't wear a tie to Home Depot


that would be gay

2/24/2008 10:22:41 PM

business casual. why would you want to work retail though??

2/24/2008 10:23:36 PM

heh don't ask if they have drug screening

my old roommate interviews people for retail and everytime someone asks he just loses their resume - i'm amazed someone would ask

2/24/2008 10:23:53 PM

HD not going to be looking at what you wear jeans and tucked in black shirt will work just fine. CC i dont know prolly go with Big jhonson shirt and some leather pants.

at Lowe's they sneak it up on you


first time you go in for an interview right then and there they swab your mouth and send it off to the lab

just to have something to do on the side and enjoy an employee discount. Im not pressed for cash or anything, but its just something to do with time that requires little or no thought, and I actually enjoy the stuff Id be around. I figure, I might as well get payed for it.

2/24/2008 10:25:47 PM

Lowe's sticks it in your mouth the first interview?

2/24/2008 10:26:14 PM

also drugs are a lot less of an issue than criminal shit. in the past couple weeks since my felony dismissal FINALLY hit the books, ive gotten tons of calls on my old voicemail about jobs i applied for.

but im happy where i am and fuck those places to begin with

2/24/2008 10:27:24 PM

dont smoke or sniff or shoot or pop and there should be no probs

[Edited on February 24, 2008 at 10:28 PM. Reason : felonys are a cunt! make sure you got a good job befor gettin any of them]

2/24/2008 10:27:27 PM

ha. in a way. They def do the mouth swab at the interview. and khakis (not dress khakis, but not ones that have holes in them either) and a standard polo shirt would be fine for home depot. I worked at Lowes for a year and while the pay sucks and some of the people sucked, the actual job was kinda fun.

2/24/2008 10:29:32 PM

home depot wouldn't hire me back in the day cause i wouldn't work saturdays, fuckers

2/24/2008 10:35:17 PM

yea that is kinda fucked up

[Edited on February 24, 2008 at 10:39 PM. Reason : you could make more money doing dishes for fuck sakeThey are some cheap niggers!!]

2/24/2008 10:37:50 PM

how is the employee discount at some of the places ya'll have worked?

2/24/2008 10:43:14 PM

^I used to work at Best Buy and heard that CC either took theirs away or reduced it alot but idk if it's true

2/24/2008 10:57:15 PM

^Fuck best buy they changed the discount policy.

2/24/2008 10:58:46 PM

CC has a next to nothing employee discount.

10% i think.

2/24/2008 10:59:20 PM

fuck

2/24/2008 11:04:10 PM

if my sources are correct,


all you really have to do is just make friends with a manager and get him to put stuff on clearance or into the clearance bin....

that, or get a friend to buy something you want, return it open box, and you can get another discount like that.

2/24/2008 11:06:46 PM

my excitement level is gradually falling

I read a bunch of stuff online of CC Employees complaining about how badly managed the stores are...

Oh well, we'll see where I end up...

2/24/2008 11:50:13 PM

i guess the job depends on your hobbies.


a job at home depot would be cool if you like building random stuff.


if i worked at home depot, i would definitely get my hands on some rated transparent pvc and make a potato canon with it.

2/24/2008 11:51:49 PM

I'm pretty sure I once got a job based on the Boy Scout hand shake

2/25/2008 12:00:23 AM

^ I'm SOL w/ that one

2/25/2008 12:02:05 AM

I'm sure the Boy Scouts have some sort of penis shake that you can do

that's a good old-fashioned American homo-eroticized paramilitary organization for the kids

2/25/2008 12:05:43 AM

I had a sunglass hut interview today haha.

discounts include 30% off anything, 4 times a year you get 50%, and if you work for a full year, you get one free pair of sunglasses/prescription sunglasses.

You also get discounts at other places owned by Luxxotica, which was quite a long list.

They pay base + commission.
