Unexpectedly got a job at Apple

So I applied at the Apple store down where I'm going to be going to college. I honestly never truly expected a job, let alone 5 interviews.


I was curious if anyone had any questions on the matter?

No questions, just congratulations!

Congratulations on your new job. I'm sure you'll enjoy working there and will take advantage of the employee discounts.

Alright got my eyes on an iMac, and a MacBook air!

Congrats, and welcome to the family!

5 interviews o_0 wow...

Congrats, what a great place to work!

I hope you thoroughly enjoy your new job. While the normal retail headaches applied, the folks I worked with were some of the most interesting, fun, creative and generally goofy folks I've ever known. Had a great time there - hope your experience is the same.

Congrats! I'd have loved that sort of job when I was that age. Didn't have home computers back then so I worked in a HiFi shop.

I thought you worked in the Telegraph repair shop . . . ..

I'm definitely excited! I hope they work around my college schedule as well as I plan in my head.

Lol... reminds me of an old, old joke...

"She was just the telegraph operator's daughter, but you had to admire the way she di-di-didit-di-di-didit."

(insert rim shot here)

Just be sure to never, ever, ever post anything about your work or inside information here or you may not keep that job very long.

And congrats!

what is the employee discount through apple?

I have no idea what the employee discount is lol. I didn't even find out what the pay was until the 5th interview!!

Unless it's changed, it's 25% off one system for yourself per year, and 15% off up to three systems for friends and family.

Those discounts sound good to me!

Wow.
Seems like the NSA. Lol. Good luck, I'm just curious about the discount. If you feel comfortable saying on here, let us know!

Good luck.

What he said

Originally i wanted to work for Apple. But now i see that if I did, it would drain the fun out of one of my hobbies.

Also, i'm not a big fan of being biased. I know Apple would want me to push sales of products such as iLife, iWork etc. I just believe there are far better alternatives.

But in this current economy, well done, make sure you keep it.
