Its to examine my tech knowledge, I applied originally for a mac specialist position and been forwarded for a mac genius position instead but she needs to examine my tech knowledge. What should I research about first as I am a more of a trial and error type of guy :S

Can anyone help???:eek:

Just a thought, but it might be risky posting this on a mac rumors site. if apple is watching, it might not look favorable.

There is no way that Apple does not watch these forums.

because the hiring people have nothing better to do than sit on forums all day and make sure they don't hire somebody based on a thread post...:rolleyes:

seriously, they probably will just ask a couple general mac-related questions. (eg "I bought a Mac computer and I thought it came with a 2-button mouse..."). if you were on the other end of the genius bar waiting for a genius to help you and were saying to yourself "I know that..." then you probably could be an Apple genius. If you were applying for a specialist job, you might be overqualified for the genius bar. ;)

I work for Apple. I get paid $50 an hour to surf this forum looking for corporate leaks and espionage. Just kidding. Wouldn't that be an awesome job? Just sit home all day and surf Apple sites!
