    Well I found out about a week ago that I will no longer have a job at Ultimate Electronics as of May 1st. They are shutting down there service department comapny wide. I am an electronics tech with 5 years experince. If anyone has any leads for me that would be great. 3 of the 5 years have been feild service positions, which I really enjoy, so any leads on those would be great too. I live on the west side of the cities, and would not be apposed to positons anywhere around the cities and north north/west of the cites, excpesially towards St. Cloud, Alex, Detroit lakes, or even as far up as fargo.

    Let me know if you need anymore info from me.

    Thanks everyone
    Bill

    Have you thought about checking out Halstead Electronics on 394? Maybe they might have something for you.

    Good luck man. :)

    Bill, another option you could look into is working at the service center for Best Buy (it's in Bloomington) fixing all the crap the in-store guys can't do.

    When I was with the Geek Squad @ BB, I had to work down at the service center for a few days -- and it was INFINITELY better than working in the store and dealing with a-hole customers all day.

    What benefits do you provide for your employee? Do you promote within? If so, is it based on seniority? If yes, then your screwed. No use working above and beyond expectation. Just do what you need to get by. That is what I hate about companies that base it on longevity. I work twice as hard and the laziest person gets promoted. As a Manager/Owner I would always want to promote the person that gives me the best results and exceeds my expectations. Age and longevity doesn't matter to me. As you can see I take this, personally. ;)
