Computer Sales & Tech Associate — $16–$19

Love computers? Good with people? We can teach you the rest.

The Computer Outlet is looking for someone who enjoys technology, likes helping people and wants an opportunity to develop real-world computer skills.

You don't need years of professional IT experience.

If you're the person your friends and family call when they need help with their computer—or you've built PCs, upgraded laptops, installed Windows, replaced SSDs or RAM, or simply enjoy learning about technology—we'd like to talk to you.

What You'll Do

This is a hybrid position combining computer sales, basic technical work and day-to-day store operations.

You'll learn to:

Help customers choose the right laptop, desktop or workstation for their needs

Explain computer specifications in simple, understandable terms

Test and inspect refurbished computers

Install and configure Windows

Perform RAM and SSD upgrades

Transfer customer data

Perform basic computer diagnostics and troubleshooting

Prepare computers for resale

Clean and grade incoming equipment

Set up computers for customers

Assist with inventory and merchandising

Help maintain an organized, professional retail store

As your technical abilities grow, you'll have opportunities to take on more advanced repair and diagnostic work.

Who We're Looking For

We're more interested in your ability and attitude than what's printed on your résumé.

You may be a great fit if:

You genuinely enjoy computers and technology

You're comfortable talking with customers

You enjoy figuring out why something isn't working

You're dependable and show up when you're scheduled

You're willing to learn

You can explain things without making customers feel intimidated

You take pride in doing things correctly

You're comfortable working independently

You want to develop skills that can lead to a career in technology

Professional computer-repair experience is not required.

Experience building PCs, repairing computers for friends or family, working in electronics retail, studying IT/computer science, or working help desk is a plus.

Why Work at The Computer Outlet?

We're not a big-box electronics store.

The Computer Outlet is a locally owned computer business that has been serving customers for nearly 30 years.

Our philosophy is simple: give customers good advice, quality computers and straightforward answers.

You'll work directly with experienced people in the computer business and get hands-on experience with laptops, desktops and workstations from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple and other major manufacturers.

This isn't just a cashier position.

You'll have an opportunity to learn:

Computer Sales → Hardware → Troubleshooting → Refurbishing → Repair → IT

The more you learn and the more responsibility you can handle, the more valuable you become to our company.

Compensation

Starting Pay: $16–$18/hour depending on experience and demonstrated ability

Opportunities for additional compensation and advancement as sales and technical skills develop.

Employee discounts available on computers and electronics.
