Anyone Ever Work at the Apple Store??

[bxbadboy90]

if you interview there don't tell them you plan on leaving for college or just need a summer/holiday job.

but forreal it seems like a cool place but if you guys plan on retail/sales I'd look into jobs that pay commission

In my resume and application I clearly state that i'm still in school. should I still avoid sayin it in the interview?

I'm not sure what the pay is like but I'll ask her. I think she still works there

What the hell this got to do with working at Apple?

But yea I'm set up for a recruiting seminar next week. Good looks on this post.

what IS the pay for a Specialist?

I was paid a whopping $10.50 an hour, in a pretty wealthy area too. Pay at these stores is no better than any other retail spot. And on top of that, no commission, so you don't even get extra.

. IDK if I should apply again at a different store.

That's how they operate, which is one reason I left. Complete lack of professionalism.

Is it true that people that work at the Genius bar all make about $50k a year? I heard you had to go and get certified and after that, you make no less then 50k working as a in store tech.

You can tell those who work at Apple but are blinded by the kool-aid in some of these posts. The pay is some crap. For the amount of stuff you sell, the customers, and the managers it's BS. Explain to me, how are you happy as an individual selling 200K but your check being 2G's in that time frame that you sold that much? No compensation for good work. No promotion within. They use to promote within, now they are all outside hires.

They feed you this BS, to cover up themselves from other retailers but the it's the same. Owners created = sales goal.

End of the line, if you work at Apple you aren't ambitious to make money.

$10 an hour is MORE than decent for me, considerin my last retail job only paid $8 lol.

was anybody on here a Specialist?

1st interview is with hiring manager
2nd is with sales manager
3rd is with store manager
THEN you have to make a 3 minute video on why you should be hired I walked around the mall in an apple costume

 

[mf doomer]

hiring process is ridiculous. a couple interviews should be enough, but three?

 

[1c3m4m]

As soon as ur hired, you'll suddenly have the urge to have a closet full of black turtlenecks and Lee jeans

Can you elaborate on that first meeting, please?
I have the group interactive seminar tomorrow.  Don't want to make a fool of myself.

I was. Job sucked #$@.

And no, $10 for what you'll be asked to do is not enough, trust.
