Smartphone cases are the absolute worst. They just "want to see what it looks like"...... it looks EXACTLY the way it does through that clear plastic. Then it's always, "I want one, but let me get the one behind it that hasn't been opened or messed with". Really? This all got worse about a year...

Sounds like you made it through the first interview fine. The second, based on what you quoted, may be just to go through the motions. It may already be on the table for you, they just need to complete the second interview regardless. Hope it goes well for you.

A major point would be engaging guests by offering help in finding what they are looking for, educating them on their choices, then selling them what would work best for them, based on their wants/needs. For example, a nice HDTV. You can always recommend a better brand or one with added...

No real info to provide here, other than a talk I had with my STL about it. She told me we should have them in our store sometime this fall. Gotta say, I'm looking forward to it. Equipment has always been an issue in our store, so I'm hoping this gives us more to work with. Nothing like trying...

Thanks for the helpful thread, everyone. I started as a Hardlines TM over a year ago, then interviewed & moved up to Electronics. In my time with Spot, I've had numerous TL's, ETL's, & STL tell me that I'd be great as a TL. At first, I thought it was a nice compliment, but it's become a more...

I was hired for seasona overl a year ago & was given my letter about staying on on Dec. 31st as we were punching out. Still there & enjoying the place (shocking to some, I know). I've since worked & trained in numerous areas of the store & I've moved up to electronics. Still enjoying it all &...

I hold mine like that, even though I know the mic is up top. Reason: I want that speaker free & clear because I can't hear jack sh** from those eating the walkie. Basically, I hold it in a way I can speak loud & clear to them, but leave it open to hear them, instead of partially blocking the...

It was insane early on, but organized from what I heard. I missed the initial rush & came in around 5AM, helping my TL in Electronics & hundreds upon hundreds of guests. My TL left a couple of hours into my shift & left me in charge in Electronics. I had a great team to work with & a couple of...

Thanks for the info, man. I spoke with AP about it (she & I are good friends) & she wasn't sure, but thought it may be helping them push. She was the last one I saw or spoke to on my way out late yesterday. I'll check tomorrow & see if I can get some concrete info on it for our store. I was just...

Our release went smooth. I got there this morning to find that one of the Plano guys had already set it, so myself & the other Electronics TM coordinated to run it nice & smooth (I snagged any games for those in line & he checked them out with the actual consoles for their preorders). Had to...

What exactly is this? Sorry for asking, just noticed it on my schedule this week (working 46+hours) & was vaguely told I would probably partner with the backroom to help push all day, both days. Just wanted to check & see. Never worked this before & the two shifts for it are right before...

Trust me when I say I'd be out on time, every time, if I could. I'm always in middle of helping a guest because they stop me on my way up to punch out. That or waiting for the closing Electronics TM to get there so I can give them a rundown on the day's events & let them know where things are (&...

Thank you for the info, it's much appreciated!

LOL - I'd say so.

As for the 90 day thing........they have the ability to toss you out in that time frame, if they don't like your performance, your attitude, or your work ethic. Honestly, they don't even need a reason within that 90-day time frame. I just worked my rear off & did what needed to be done...
