just wondering if anyone who posts on here works for apple? either in retail or other.

i'm just curious. as geeky as it sounds, i would quite like to work for apple in either a apple store or other job.

i'm currently at college at the moment studying music technology, computing and physics and going on to university to study music technology. the job at the retail store that is advertised on the apple site which stood out the most to me was the 'creative' one, as studying music technology i use logic quite extensively, and seems like a good solid job. obviously being a music lover and getting a degree in music technology i'd love to become a producer, sound engineer, freelance audio work, etc or something along those lines, but like i said it would seem like quite a solid job.

so anyone out there? by the way, i'm in the uk but any us guys/girls out there i'd like to here from you

cheers

If they do they aren't going to tell for risk of losing their job or any future job in the business.

Those who work for Apple are not allowed to be on these sites, so would not tell you if they were :)

I used to work as a Mac Specialist and it was stressed to us that if we were found to be posting on Apple rumour sites, we would be dismissed from the company. So I doubt you'll find any employees on here.

ok, i get the idea :p

anyone else ever fancied working for apple though?

yeh i daydream of being invited to join a crew of Applers picked for their complete innocence of a new product, where the idea is to find out to what extent the thing has to be made idiot-proof for the consumers. I love to try to break software on new toys, just by letting my curiosity be my user's manual.

Imagine being paid to use a new Apple toy and just forward the crash logs.

Imagine if you got to do that for the iPhone! All day, all night, playing my favorite music and videos, reporting that CoverFlow has crashed again but Ratatouille played flawlessly from beginning to end even while being paused and resumed ad infinitum for weather forecast checks and quick trips to Reuters Mobile or whatever. Mmmm, sign me up!

I work for Apple and can't be fired. However, I won't offer any useful advice. All I can do is nod my head. :p
