I have an interview with CanadaComputers. It's for a sale position. Just wondering if anyone got an interview with them before. If so, what type of questions did they ask?

1) Do you enjoy scamming people
2) Can you lie very well
3) Can you stand for hours arguing with people
Just kidding. Seriously though it will probaly be questions that would be asked at any job interview; why do you want this job, what expereince do you have that may be an asset, etc.

you can apply online or in person, i applied online and never got a response, so u might as well apply in person.
well now that i got a government job, i don't feel so bad of not even a response from cc, i'd quit that job anyway if i did get hired

If you're not Chinese, your odds are basically nil...

There's one time,one of the customers asked that question in the store. He told them how much skills he has and tried to ask a few questions.The clerk felt clueless on the termins,so he said: We need someone who can just give a customer stuff they want,without explaining anything or spending any time.

If you get the job, can you let me know what kind of discounts you get? :->

You probably have an equal chance at the Waterloo location whether you're Chinese or not...
Non-Chinese person don't bother applying for the Pacific Mall location.

Ha ha, from the 3 times (and 4th time tomorrow) visit, all I have seen are the same - Chinese, probably just like every other CanadaComputers
Trust me when I say it, we have LOTS of Chinese in Waterloo, thx to UW
I was picking out my yearbook photo, and the only thing I notice is HUGE % of Chinese photos ;p

I think < 1%
also believe when I say I have been observing on this topic since yr 1 (b/c it was a dramatic difference from high school, your eye does notice w/o you knowing it)

Time is money!! get item, move onto the next customer! no support.. if you want support call the company of that product, research your item before you buy!
