Hi I am currently studying for the A+ certification, I plan to have it by the end of this month and I plan to go for farther education. I’ve built two high end computers by myself for a friend and family member. Install OS and everything. I’m looking in to finding either a computer assembly or computer technician job . Where is the best place to look for one? I’ve looked in to best buy but I find their geek squad to be a little bit shady.

Where is a good place to look for a full time entry level computer technician job just starting out in Tampa, FL?

This question really belongs over on www.superuser.com - also you will need to tell us where you live (America? India? New Zealand?) – Mark Henderson♦ Mar 7 '10 at 20:50
Desktop support may belong here, it does seem to fit under the 'many desktop PC' bullet of permitted topics here. – Zoredache Mar 7 '10 at 21:18
the geolocation is embedded in the question although requires some googling - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek_Squad – rytis Mar 8 '10 at 7:33

I'd suggest going to geek squad at Best Buy, or Future Shop.

If you can find local computer stores that specialize in selling computer parts, they normally have a service department, where they would be looking for A+ cert people.

Hope that helps!

Local mom-and-pop computer shops, like @Voziv mentioned, are a good option. So could a big-box chain. There's also other franchises. There's also managed-service providers, look up that term for any MSPs near you.

Also, employers of all sizes need entry-level desktop technicians (those that haven't outsourced it anyway). I started 10 years ago as having my A+, and experience with Crystal Reports and MS Access. That got me a job as the #2 (of 2) IT staff at a 100-person company, and I grew from there.
