[woodall57]

got a job interview at pc world lol im an IT student so thought it would be a good job but it seems like more of a sales type job than actually knowing anything about technology for example trying to sell people their bloated norton anti virus software

so any tips ? i work at wetherspoon now but really dont have experience in retail so need to impress

You don't really need to impress for a basic retail job. Just don't act retarded and sound confident. They want you to be able to sell stuff so think of that.

Had a mate who worked there, similar story to JFK. End of the day they prey on ignorant customers because lets face it, online businesses are taking all their profits these days so they need to make money some how. You'd probably be better of stocking shelves in a supermarket, I bet there's no difference in the pay.

Good luck. Make sure you look people in the eye, it makes a big difference. Given what's happening with Comet, I would be wary. Why do you want to leave your current job?

Big tip - learn how to express yourself in written English. The way you write is atrocious - crap spelling and no idea of punctuation. Punctuation shows the ability to order information. You don't show this ability. It makes you seem like an illiterate 7 year old. Really.

The job is sales. You're like a graduate in English who gets a job selling books in Waterstones. And I say that like it's a bad thing.

If you get the job it's just about your level; I'm sorry. All those massive loans to end up selling shite in a shop.

How do I know so much about your failings? I was a Careers Advisor for Durham University until recently.[/quote]

I interviewed you and advised a career in shovelling shite but you failed the test. Too thick. [/quote]

You were too busy being golden showered by hot women to interview me, don't you remember?[/quote]

MMMM -loved it and so did you. Now fuck off I cant be bothered with you anymore.

Why Pc world? If its because you like technology and think it would be good to a job with interest.....forget it.

You know how to use a computer and are looking for a job so you are more qualified than most who apply and succeed, as you have already discovered it is very much sales, not honest advice or help and pushy sales at that!

I did a 3 month stint there whilst weighing up that vs an M&S warehouse (which would be the best stopgap - naturally) I left and stayed in the warehouse, despite being very good it didn't sit with me well selling the way they wanted, as said up-sells is key as margins on basic hardware is low, they don't half like shifting norton antichrist.

I have no problem with up-selling something people might want and am happy to refrain if people clearly don't want, this will not sit well with them.

Unless you hate where you are think about it, or do a trial period because at least people in a whetherspoons are happy to be there!

Yes I want to work at pc world because im interested in technology and think it would be a good job to suit my university degree choice ect.

Golden Showers you sir are a prize wank stain, its people like you who in a years time will end up on the dole sleeping in one of paddy's bike covers

also to everyone else cheers for the help, i understand it will mostly be upselling their bloated anti virus software and adding a warranty on. i will see how it goes and report back

I wish you all the best with your interview. Good on you for looking to improve yourself. Ignore most of the negative comments on here. Go with an open mind. There are some well paid top execs at PC World. You might be one some day! Go with condidence but no too cocky. Say you are willing to learn. Say that you will try to be approachable to customers and try hard to listen to the advice of your supervisor. This is not crawling it actually is what employers are looking for. If they suggest hours etc -just say yes - no point arguing the toss at this stage. Dress well and remove studs etc. Comb your hair. Do everything right and you will get the job. If it is not for you then you can leave later. Once you have the job do not dwell on the shortcomings - concentrate on doing things well and give it a chance. I have interviewed and worked with many new colleagues in my time. Some were worth their weight in gold and went very far. Hope it goes well - it could be the start of a successful future - how exciting. Most successful people started at the very bottom and still got where they are today.....remember that!
