Hi Karam, I believe that Future Shop usually likes to hire people that are 18 or older for the ConnectPro computer technicians.  While this doesn't mean you can't be hired younger, it will be harder.  That said, Future Shop does have one requirement that I know of for their ConnectPro computer technicians - you must have the A+ certification.

Take a look into this and you can go from there.  Good luck with the hunt!

From what I have read you have 90 days after your hired to become A+ certified for Connect Pro. You might look into an online course to become A+ certified.

So I applied for a couple of positions with Future Shop online:

Seasonal Sales and Customer Service - Coquitlam

and

Gaming & DVD/CD Sales Associate - Coquitlam Centre

My resume has retail and computer support experience, my availability is open, yadda yadda, but I haven't receieved a phone call yet, and its been a few weeks. I really want to work with Future Shop, or at least get an interview, confirmation of a no, etc.

How would I go about doing this? Phoning the store and talking to who? Or going to the store and talking to someone? But again, who?

Thanks in advance.

Haha, I applied for the Merchandiser and Gaming & Dvd/CD Sales Associate postions at Scarborough, Ontario. I applied at September 23, 2009, made a post on this forum regarding my online application, and I tried to follow-up on my application by phone, but the operator is never answers Can I follow up by e-mail by replying to the Recruiter's message that sent me the "thank you, for applying" email? I hope I get a call back for an interview soon, even though I know that my resume isn't as good as other high school students because of their previous experience with fastfood and retail (Which I don't have). I really want to work at Future Shop.

Well, I got an email a few days ago saying that a phone interview was wanted with me. It's been a business week since the email stated that interviews were going to begin, and yet no call. When should my phone be ringing?

I have an interview for Future Shop tomorrow, and im curious as to what it takes to be an efficient Merchandiser. Should i bring up the fact that i'd rather work as a music and games salesperson instead?

[Credible_Chris]

They're usually receptive to prospective employees who don't mind trying different positions.  Even though you applied for the merchandizing position, the interviewer might ask you what position you'd prefer (at least thats what happened at my interview).

Good luck

I have a question.

I had my 2nd interview last Wednesday with the GM of the store. It went great and I got a call 2 days after offering me a job in home theatre. The lady told me they would be in contact with me to set up a time to fill out paperwork and what not. Its been a week and I have not heard back yet. Does anyone have any recommendations?  Should I call them? Or be patient? or does anyone have any other ideas?

Just wondering why they would offer me the job, then wait so long to set things up

[RiverRun5]

I am interested in working at Futureshop. I like Home Theatre a lot and do have some good knowledge on HDTV's, Blu-ray, Surround sound Receivers and speakers...but do you have to be a Product Expert to help people pick out these kind of products? I'm not looking to be on Commission, but still sell people products, or at least answer their questions. Is this possible to do, even if I haven't worked in sales at all? Is there some sort of training program all employees in this area must go through?

I was also wondering if it is possible to work part-time like 3-4 days a week, and what the regular working hours would be and if they are somewhat flexible with them like if I could work until no later than 4pm because of other thingsI have to do?

If anyone can give me some guidance with these questions that would be awsome. Thanks a bunch!

Hi RiverRun5,

We're currently hiring for the holiday season, so I'm going to direct you over to that thread.  Follow the instructions in the first post to get set up for a guaranteed phone interview with a recruiter in your area.

Thanks and good luck!
