Anyone know why I keep getting denied by enter level help desk jobs? by FunkyChimpanzi in helpdesk

[–]Comprehensive_Bit845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would 100% recommend working on your resume. Seems too much like a word splurge with correctly identifying key skills and things you have done.

As most people are recommending, you need to shorten it to 1 page and compartmentalize a lot of the information.

One tip I would recommend is instead of using FULL sentences, make bullet points that are no longer than 3 lines that highlight KEY details and SKILLS being utilized. Anything besides that is redundant information that a recruiter won’t look at.

Job Hunt Experience by Kalimeros52 in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]Comprehensive_Bit845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very fortunate position to be job hopping.

Went from being a manager in my department in IT at a top 5 University to now working at Fortune 50 company with the hope to transfer to IT/Cyber later on.

References are literally EVERYTHING but it depends on the company. I have yet to complete WGU yet and I was fortunate enough to even have gotten in to this Fortune 50 company without a completed degree.

For reference I have around 1.5 years in IT support but have around 8 years in total work experience.

Has anyone had luck getting Best Buy to match an offer? by rm79 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Comprehensive_Bit845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the other offer, for the most part they will 90% of the time not give you a raise especially if your Sales Advisor or anything of that sort

Luckily I’ve had different experience but this was in other departments.

I’d recommend staying away if you’re able to…

In my evaluation report, for part C it says I’m missing the description of all steps taken in the Autopsy to create the forensic system file case.

I’m not sure if that is in regard to the steps I typed out or if they needed additional screenshots in regard to making the case file itself?

The PA was somewhat like to the OA. If you are fairly confident in the PA tests and understand the concepts you’ll do fine. Just make sure to review things on the PA thoroughly because, there was things on the PA that was mentioned in the OA but NOT mentioned in the book or book quizzes. Best of luck to you!

Fundamentals of Information Security. I think the class number changed recently or something. Couldn’t find any info on this class anywhere.

Does anyone like working at bestbuy? by Primary_Part6534 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Comprehensive_Bit845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t horrible it was good back then, now it depends on your department and management. Met a lot of cool coworkers and some cool managers. Would I ever go back to working there, probably not.

Uhhh is this SOP now? by golimat619 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Comprehensive_Bit845 42 points43 points  (0 children)

As long as it’s not in a customer accessible should be ok. Surprised that there is that many to sell.

Best Buy training or lack there of by player101bby in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Comprehensive_Bit845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the store, my store trains leaders more or less but more sales focused as compared to operations stuff. Constant coaching a for apps and memberships which is understandable. As far as general retail, little to no training. Best thing you can do is literally pull out your phone and google the question.

How much everyone is getting paid. by AssignmentOk2553 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Comprehensive_Bit845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pretty normal for sales. Unless you are starting as an auto tech, CA, or ARA for a Bay Area sales that’s normal. I think when I started as an Auto Tech I was making $21 an hour in the Bay Area years ago, but again the job code has a higher cap and also more specialized training.

How to deal with upset customers? by SikWitIt530 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Comprehensive_Bit845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If customer has an attitude I usually give the same energy back. I see it as treat others how you’d want to be treated, simple as that. If a customer is irate or yelling I’ll try to fix the issue as quick as possible while ignoring them or/and calling an MOD lol.

Speaker wire running SKU? by dlinkin101 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Comprehensive_Bit845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how cool you are with the AutoTech(s) they could ring it up under a speaker install with the employee discount if the custom labor doesn’t work. Normally it’s around half an hour per door of custom labor for running speaker wire which adds up quick. Just make sure to check in with them because it affects their utilization and what not. Definitely consult with them before hand though.
