Guess who works for Apple Computers?

If you guessed me, you'd be right! I applied for a job at my local Apple Retail Store, and they called me today and told me I got the job. I'm pretty excited about that. Two words: employee discount :D No, but seriously, it should be a lot of fun. I showed them my aqua-fied desktop, and a bunch of the guys were convinced it was a Macintosh. High praise, to be sure. Anyway, I thought I'd mention it cause I'm in a really good mood because of it :D Plus, every new Apple employee receives (and I swear I'm not making this up) a new 20GB Apple iPod. So now I have two. I dunno what I should do with the extra one, though. Care to make any offers? ;) So yeah, good day for me :)

Don't think, you should talk here about two iPods in your pocket...

A lot of people gonna hate you today :P

Congrats! ;)

#243606

#243607

Wow, congratulations! I may have to swear off all contact with you out of principle, but that's great. Would you like to become a mole? :-P

#243617

Yeah, I seriously envy you now... but congrats dude! :D

#243618

Hehe... good stuff. Have fun at the store... if people return iTrips, it's probably because they dropped them (like I did :D).

#243627

Holy **** I might apply for a job at an apple store, I could send a pic of one of my screenshots too! And with those kinds of benefits, I would be in heaven and getting paid for it too! :P I'm pretty busy with other stuff right now but maybe I could start this summer or when I leave for college...

#243687

congrats! i hope you will enjoy this job for a lifetime. just wondering. how's the wages? is it sufficent for a full time job? man. being surrounded by tons of g5s and ibooks and powerbooks really makes the job worth it you know :)

#243705

BTW: my bid: $10 AUD

#243713

I've sorta found that everyone there kinda does a little bit of everything. My manager is starting me out in the iPod section since he knows I've used one for a long time and am familiar with it. After a while, though, I could probably start working in any section. I might even get to work the Genius Bar once I have some more experience with Macs. (As much as I love to emulate them, I have never actually owned one, so needless to say I'm little more experienced with PCs. I was surprised they hired me after I told them I never owned a Mac! :o)

steelfist: from what I've seen, wages a very good across the board. I got a very good starting PT wage (more than I was expecting) and the FT employees I've talked with seem very content with everything.
