I've made my own and had it printed out at Costco. I made it as close to the poster as I can.

Nice, I think I'll do the same, unless you'd like to share your image with the rest of us?
I do wonder about that whole "it takes 2-3 years to be hired" thing. I can't imagine the holiday employees applied when they were 15 only to work for Apple during December when they're 18 years old
That's more for management, I would assume. I know from friends that your average Apple Store has 1000+ applications on file at any given time and ends up with 4-10 people in a hiring class. That's a 99.996% washout rate. Pretty selective.
What size did you use to upload it to costco? That looks great!!
Rather I guess how did you have the resolution saved? If that makes any sense
That's not a rule. That's something your fourth-grade teacher told you. It's perfectly acceptable, though it's considered fairly informal. Since Apple is adopting a chatty, informal tone with this piece, starting sentences with "and" is appropriate.

Yes please share! I would like to print one myself
I started a new document in Photoshop with 20'x30' @180PPI so I had enough resolution to print out later. And when uploading to costco I chose to upload the full resolution. Turned out alright.

This is the same one I sent to Costco for print. The original transcription had a few typos that I've fixed in this one so it should be set to go.

Hi-res poster available for download
Hello! I'm a huge apple fan. Couldn't resist recreating the poster in hi-res. Here's the JPG. If anyone wants the vector EPS format, you can find it here... http://wtrns.fr/2OpL3BqohxCVVq

I was wondering if you could upload the original file. I want to print one off for myself, noticed that the positioning of the 10 is a little off compared to the original.

Hey Trojanvillage! The hi-res EPS is available at the link mentioned with my post. As for '10' being a little off, it because I'm not sure which typeface they've used. I've tried to get as close as possible. If you have trouble downloading the EPS, let me know I'll upload it in a format more convenient to you! Cheers!

For those who want a copy see attached. I know it isnt exactly identical
Enjoy
Thanks soooo much for the pdf!
Not to burst anyone's bubble, but generally any retail store can produce this or something similar. While this is rather personal and in-tune with the presentation Apple makes with their stores, anyone who worked in retail knows that from Walgreens to Wal-Mart, all it takes is a creative and talented copywriter with some nuggets of facts and stylistic elements to create something like this.
Not to take anything away from anyone involved with creating this, but it's not like Apple is the only company capable of saying these types of statements. Walgreens (whom I work for, so a slight bias here) communicates these types of sentiments all the time via our intranet and "Walgreens World" bi-monthly publications. Generally the employees at Walgreens aren't as receptive to them as most of you guys are to Apple's. And I'm sure not every Apple employee read that and thought "Gee, Steve, you really do touch my heart." I'm sure quite a handful rolled their eyes and said something more like "Yeah, right."
I enjoyed reading it though anyway. It's hard to criticize a company for at least attempting to seem to care about all 30,000 retail employees they have. I do wonder about that whole "it takes 2-3 years to be hired" thing. I can't imagine the holiday employees applied when they were 15 only to work for Apple during December when they're 18 years old
I'm just sayin', y'all.
I am going to have to disagree with you on that note. With all due respect to Walgreens/Walmart, having worked a couple of the Apple stores, let me tell you that there is always a team-oriented approach to things, even though it is retail. Rarely did we feel like we are bossed around by management, and we all have input in the future directions of things. The message in the poster is not the first time we read this, but we always have the opportunity to discuss the vision of the company etc.
