You throw an application into a pile and expect someone to give you a call to offer you a job? Show some determination.

(holds hand)

Go down to the hiring manager on site, dressed well and with resume in hand (a printed copy of their application helps, too. Next, talk with the manager and ask what types of positions he/she is looking to fill immediately. After deciding which of those you feel best qualified, explain how you can fill that role better than any other person with your skills, determination, and knowledge. Emphasize that you came to meet with him/her in person with resume and application in hand ready to start as soon as possible. Offer to "volunteer" for the remainder of the day (working for free is a corporate no-no, keyword to use is "volunteer"). Ask to leave a copy of your resume and application with the manager then send a thank you letter in the mail the very next day personally addressed.

God damn. What's wrong with fucking lazy ass kids these days?

look. i went on the internet, filled out an application with my resume. I called the very next day to let them know that i put it in, and check to see if it was on file. they called me two days later. I went to an interview, took some kind of personality test, a piss test, my tax info, i brought my papers back from the clinic. they said that they will call me once my background check and piss test results came back. i dont do any drugs of any sorts. no criminal background. they havent called me back...not stressed, its fucking Best Buy. I wont break my neck to make only $8.00/hr any day of the week. I have the potentail of making $12.00/hr or more...thank you for caring tho.

Taking a piss test and no call back = failed piss test.

while you are right, he still does have a point. I work at radioshack and we have way too many people who walk in and say they took the app online a week ago and want to know why I/my manager has not called them.


Show at least some kind of effort.

If you had one interview already and they didnt call you back thats best buy's polite way of saying we don't want you.
