Suggestions for an interview with Apple

[H360]

Hi. Well I have an interview with Apple soon at one of their stores, and would like any suggestions or advice anyone can give me.

Thanks :)

Tell them you're a genius to pick up women at the genius bar. (not sure if you watch big bang theory) :P

I don't have much interview experience but I just want to say good luck! They pay well. Best of luck bud!

HAHA! I do watch it.

Thanks. I would really love to have the job. The way I see the company, was with the Performa, Quadra and the first Macintosh. That is Apple.
However, I will need to express interest in all of their products of course and not focus on the past.

Great, glad you got it :D

You should mention your love for the classic Apple products and it's easy to bullshit about the recent products.

Just remember for the interview (I was told by a career's adviser, whether or not it's true :/) to always dress above their level.

From what I have seen at Apple stores, you are already overqualified because you can keep a coherent thought and don't drool.

If its that easy to score a job at an apple store in Australia, I might have to reconsider my options I've applied so many times at 3 places here in southern California, including a store that wasn't even open yet... Sad, been jobless since 2008

Talk about how much iOS and OSX sucks and that Windows is the be all end all.

Ask why they thought calling the next ipad the next ipad was a good idea.

It's the New Coke of iPads!

Its a crap job anyway.

The guy is like 15 or something, what kind of job do you expect him to get besides a crap one?

The guy is like 15 or something

19

Meh, it's not like 19-year-olds typically get good jobs either.

Despite my often run-ins with Haunted. He is better than what is effectively a shitty retail job.

It has very little to do with IT/Electronics/Anything interesting.

Too bad then, apple is not even "apple computer" anymore

Theres a rumor it may phase-out all desktops, leaving only the iMac and the Macbooks

Discuss your speedrun of Nanosaur. And the various techniques you used to collect the dinosaur eggs and kill the T-rexes.

If they do I will eat my own foot.

Same deal. Somewhat off topic, but boiled down, the iMac is a fairly good deal. The Mac pro on the other hand...


But if you are going into an interview, put on a positive face, smile, and give that "Have a nice day" face despite how you are feeling. I've been interviewed, and was given a position but I dropped it as my current job pays higher.
Oh yeah, and don't actually say how you use Apple computers left right and centre unless prompted (and unless you do). It's tacky and the employer isn't going to like it. Or at least that's how it went for my interview...

It's not a great job, but a jobs a job, what can you do.

[HEX1GON]

It's better than working at Hungry Jack's or some other food joint.

[DefectX11]

Timmie Ho's makes for a brutal job. I've worked food service before. No offence to anyone in that "profession", but it really is mind blowing-ly terrible. I'm sure you'll have a good time working at Apple, especially if you meet someone that shares common interests.
