So I applied for a job for Apple about a month ago. Days, weeks and a month or so has passed and began to think that nothing was going to eventuate from it so I let it go.
Now, at my current job, I'm hardly getting enough hours as it is to get by - damn bills and stuff is absolutely killing me. So I consider about getting another casual job to get me by.
So, I get a phone call from a mate that works at an electronic entertainment store close by to my house, and so he tells me that there's a place for me over there and that there are ample hours for me to use up. I tell him that I'll have a think about it and took about two weeks to deliberate.
Sum it up short, I'm now leaving my current job to now work at this other place. Now, I call my friend up on Tuesday, after much deliberation to tell him that I'm accepting the offer. I've also called my current boss to tell him that this is my last week working at that place - which was pretty hard, considering I've been working there for three and a half years.
Soon after this all happens, I get an anonymous call on my mobile. I answer it and of course, it was none other than Apple, well at least the people responsible for recruiting for Apple and they proceed to interview me over the phone. Twenty minutes later, they tell me that I've progressed through to the second round. I felt like one of those people who audition for Idol and get through to Hollywood/Sydney - sans a golden ticket.
I'm way excited, the second round of interviews happen next week. I don't know how far I go, but hopefully I'll get it. Thing is, if I do get it, what the hell do I do with this new job I'm starting next week? I'd feel so bad if I'm like, the guy who stayed there for a few days/weeks and left.

Don't feel bad about being 'that guy' who worked at that place for 2 days then left. I have been 'that girl' many times. haha. Or I have accepted that job and used the 'I got a better offer' thing numerous times. haha. Go for Apple! Then you can steal me some merch! haha. Good luck!
xo
i've got my second interview on tuesday :) if you've already been, how was it? if not, goodluck to the both of us!
Heya,
It wasn't so much an interview, it was a seminar-seminar. I was a little perplexed on how they were gonna make decisions based on that two hour session.
But yes, good luck to you indeed! All the best!
so updates on apple.. apparently i'm a candidate for a position as a mac specialist.. yay me! and yeah, i really don't understand how they could've picked ppl based from that seminar to get into the one on one interview. i don't think i even really tried.. hmmm... sometimes i question if they're hiring the right ppl haha
congrats to you. well, I didn't get it :-( so boo for me.
Maybe I tried too hard? hehe
anyways, I'll prob be there every now and then, I'll have a look out for you once it opens
