Interview at Apple - Help!

So I applied for a job at my new local apple store a week ago, and now I'm invited to a 'recruitment seminar' where I'll be tested on loads of different criteria to see if I fit the role to work for them! Any advice for going to this seminar? Please? :)

Easy! Just be yourself and don't show off. I personally hated it as apple was so far up their own shit hole their farts smelt better than their breath. They hired out swanky hotel for the interview I went to.

Depends on what job you are trying to get. Sales, Tech, other?

I've applied as a specialist, basically a sales assistant but who knows a particular product line well. The iPhone stuff being my area. Just a part time job, I'm only 16, I was shocked to see they liked my resume enough to invite me in!

In case you will be fine. You will know more about the iPhone than the manager at the store. Just be friendly and cool they are going to test if you have any "people" skills. Can you show grandma how to use the phone that type of shit.

Sounds fun, good luck, I read the salary is good (for a 16 year old). $10-30 an hour.

Listen i know a guy at apple and he told me the key to apple interviews is to tell as many racist jokes as possible.

mention how IBM developed the power pc chip and how you have a penchant for overpriced shiny mobile gadgets in a pomo hipster sort of way. um, and an illogical fear of the right clicking mice. that ought to do it.

no, that is the answer. any real apple gadget enthusiast will show potential customers the awesomeness of an iPhone once they shed the confines of such homogenous apps, fonts, sounds, abilities, and general interface. hurdle those and you got a real "droid does-ish" winner.

sarcasm aside, show them turf wars.

Haha right, yeah.... The salary is £7.27 an hour,(I'm in Britain), think that's about $11, which is awesome for someone my age. And do you really think I should mention turf wars? I'm not so sure :P
