how do I get a job at the apple store in nyc?

Asked by rguest (201points) October 26th, 2009 from IM

I have applied to the apple stores in nyc numerous times, I am more than qualified with a few years in retail experience. I just need to get called in for an interview.

Apply via the www.apple.com/jobs site. fill the application out as much as possible – upload a resume and a basic CV. select the store(s) in NYC that you want to work at.

be prepared – it’s a long-ish process. statistically speaking, it’s harder to get hired than it is to get into Harvard.

It also helps to act a little light in the loafers. Just a touch. not that theres anything wrong with it :-D

flirt with the manager, especially if he is of the same gender

@ragingloli haha, I like your style.

is the implication here that everyone at the apple store is gay?

@rguest well, keep applying then.

You have to drink the Kool-Aid.

First, you have to forget anything you know about computers. Then you have to learn how to sell people incredibly overpriced merchandise that is designed for brain-dead users interested more in form than function. Finally you must have absolutely no knowledge of decent customer service practices.

Boom. Now you’re an Apple store associate.

Just curious, but why do you need this job vs. any other retail job?

@Poser hahaha. he said Apple, not Best Buy.

It helps to not shave for a couple of days too. All my scruffy gay friends work at the Apple Store. And make sure when you wear the flimsy, thin t-shirt they call a uniform that you pull it from the bottom of the pile so it’s nice and wrinkled…for that “slept-in” look. Sex sells, no matter the quantity or the quality.
