Entretien
Online filtering of prospective employees is easy to bypass; just answer that you can deal with any customer/situation. Tech skills are not even needed here, a Tech Expert is expected to stock shelves and walk the floor. When a customer does come in for PC work, repair tools are minimal, space is minimal, but emphasis on selling warranties and additional products is monumental. At this location, assistant mgr was decent (bu the poor guy didn't even have a PC on his desk), head manager didn't pay attention to interview at all and repeatedly asked for questions/answers to be repeated-he was too busy staring at surveillance monitor. It's all about moving paper and ink-manager's words, not mine. If you're into fixing PCs, do it on your own or for a local guy.

All applications are submitted online, if you want an interview you should be persistent by calling the store and asking to speak with a manager to make sure they have seen/pulled your resume. First interview is typically with one of the two assistant store managers. That manager will then decide if your going to get a second interview with the Store Manager.
Recommended speaking point for the first interview would be: preach customer service, always ready to engage customers, enjoys working in team environment.
Second interview with store manager is simply to confirm what the first manager thought, repeat the same speaking points plus your own obvious positive spin and you will do fine.
