Don’t lie on your resume, Mr. Geek Squad Agent
I wrote a long and useless rant again. It was an excessive way of saying do better, Geek Squad.
If you want to work in a data center, learn how to troubleshoot. Running MRI off a thumb drive isn’t troubleshooting. Telling people you don’t use Macs isn’t cute when it’s the company’s preferred platform.
Big shout out to my old Home Theater Installer Agents who were a cut above the rest. And Special shout out to the Appliance repair guys too, they were awesome. But what PC Geek Squad is doing is not repairs. It’s not troubleshooting. Stop lying. You didn’t even build your own RGB PC ZOMGWTFLOLBBQ Mini-Tower PC. You only bought it because it was the discontinued floor model. Your only network knowledge is the word: WiFi.
Lucky for you, I’m not the hiring manager at this company… But I have been invited to help screen a lot of candidates. If I see Geek Squad on another resume, you better be ready to answer some damn questions.

Problem is we live in a culture where people hate putting in an effort and corporate America’s shenenagians and bullshit DEI aren’t helping

I wish BS didn’t have to be so synonymous with DEI. I’m all for talent, no matter where it comes from. I just don’t want a liar.
Swapping sticks of RAM, regulating the voltage of DIMM slots, and min config are a few ways you can troubleshoot memory. Complaining that Apple solders its DIMM(s) onto the motherboard isn’t troubleshooting. Running a 3rd party piece of software that tells you where the problem is isn’t troubleshooting.
It’s not rocket surgery.
