 New Job?
I passed the MOUS PowerPoint test on June 6. I will be 15 on the 14th of this month. I'm working towards the MOUS master and A+ certification. I opened the phonebook and was going to call computer stores to see if they needed a volunteer or intern or whatever. The first business I called, Computer Renassiance, said I just needed to bring a resume by and speak with the store manager. My technology teacher at school helped me create a nice resume, cover letter, and reference page. I went down there, asked to speak with the store manager, and he gave me an interview. I don't think you would really call me an employee. I work for free just because I need some actual business and computer references. He said he will give me some money now and then. Not sure how much he meant by that. I work on Saturdays. This last Saturday, I cleaned up old monitors, hooked up computers, installed drivers, hooked up printers, and watch the employees try to sell computers to customers. I am planning on completing my MOUS Master by the beginning of August after I complete all my traing at CompUSA for Word, Excel, Outlook, and Access. Once I get my MOUS master, am I wasting my time volunteering for free or would there be a chance of getting a paying job with computers even though I would only be 15. The store I work at now, sells mainly custom built computers, refurbished items, and little stuff like cd-rom drives, ect. There is nothing that I could apply my MOUS certification to. When the manager was giving the the interview, he said he never heard of Microsoft Office User Specialist certified. Could I be getting paid for having my certification even though I am young? Any replies would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam T. Edwards
