Apple Launches Redesigned Jobs Website: 'Do More Than You Ever Thought Possible'

Yeah right. At ANY large company you won't 'do more than you thought possible' at an entry position - or even 3 promotions later.

Of all the tech companies, most of Apple employees are Apple store employees. They are definitely doing more than they ever imagine

All I can say is that all of the talk of investing in the Apple Retail Employee program is BS. Any initiative you put out is squashed by the small minded retail managers that cant keep lemmings in the stores. It's a dead end job. It's not worth the ulcers and weight you put on. The jobs that they "create" are ones that are unattainable by people that work for the company in a retail environment. You might as well quit, get some experience somewhere else, move to San Jose and try and apply in person. #DamnTheMan

Any postings for hiring a "bring back it just works" chief engineer?

Helped my girlfriend wade thru the vast mess of finding/downloading/cleaning up of photos all over her devices & iCloud & photostream, as well as the mess of inconsistent text messages across iMessage on various devices. And I'm pretty good with the Apple ecosystem - couldn't imagine if she was left to it herself.

Apple today launched a redesigned Jobs at Apple website, complete with a new video highlighting work across the company.

The website now provides more detailed information about the various teams at Apple, grouped into the following categories: hardware, software and services, design, operations and supply chain, marketing, corporate functions, sales and business development, retail, and support and service.

Apple has profiled a handful of employees, including Divya, who manages a team responsible for developing the Apple Watch's sensors.



A new About Apple page highlights the company's innovative business practices, collaborative work environment, employee benefits, diverse workforce, and other advantages of working at the tech giant.

Apple has expanded its Students section with a list of opportunities for interns, undergrads, and graduates, ranging from the AppleCare College Program to the Apple Store Leader Program. The updated page includes a profile from a software engineer named Alexa, who describes her impact at Apple.

Apple's jobs search portal has also been updated with a cleaner design.

Apple says it has created over two million jobs in the United States, including those attributable to the App Store ecosystem. Apple also says it is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity.

Interesting that when I go to the website and try to login with my Apple ID I am met with a message that ‘This Apple ID cannot be used for this service. Please create a new Apple ID’
Odd. I’ve used that Apple ID for yeats, even on the old jobs website....

How many other tech companies have huge retail businesses? Microsoft is trying to get in that space, but not quite yet.

I would say Walmart would be another example if you consider them tech. After speaking to them, they certainly think they are tech.

Anyways people here say “Apple has all this money so they can hire anyone and do anything”. The point of my post was to say that they haven’t really invested into hiring people to doing more than they have ever imagined.

You would think with all their revenue, they would be interested in also growing other existing parts of their business outside of mobile and watches.
 
Worked Apple retail for 7 years as a Mac Genius. Moved to Corporate IT in 2014 and have since tripled my Apple salary... corporate is one thing, but 90% of their opportunities are part-time sales in the stores.

It's sad how much they try to pretend it's a really diverse workplace.

They use mostly women and non-white people in their ads but the reality is much different. Same with the streamed keynotes.

I attended WWDC this year, in the main keynote maybe it was 50-50, but in the technical sessions 95% white males.

I take issue with them saying they've created over 2 million jobs.

I provided "work" for Apple as an AppleCare representative, but I did not have a job. I was contracted by a contractor, and we were even told in training that "job" was a four letter word (it might lead to crazy ideas like Apple or this contractor having to follow labor laws). This was a gig. Neither Apple nor the contractor I was contracted by paid into Social Security. Everything about it was job-like: I was trained by Apple, I worked for Apple, Apple customers called me, I used Apple's resources to provide support, I conferenced with actual Apple employees. But I was not an Apple employee. I was dispensable. Everyone who was in my class was terminated at exactly the same time with no given cause, probably because a source of revenue for my contractor was the fact that we had to pay to be trained rather than being paid for training, like in a job. So it was profitable for them to have churn.

Apple creates a lot of gigs.

But according to a quick Google search they have 123,000 employees.

Compare that to IBM that has 380,000 and has far smaller revenues than Apple does.

Lol, you guys are funny. How do you think they got to the top? Of course if you want to believe "by making great products" you're very entitled to, although maybe that's why you were a contractor in the first place? who knows, to be continued.. :apple:

Is Walmart really a tech manufacturing company first?
 
has anyone here ever been to an apple hiring event? the strangest, most unproductive job interview ive ever been to. a bunch of odd questions coupled with a group project in order to find out they have zero interest in anyone with actual tech skills or apple device experience, they just want sales people
 
Has anyone else noticed that Apple seems to have almost eliminated new hiring for the At-Home advisor program? For months now, the only new at-home advisor listings have been for the college program or special language positions. The hundreds of ios/mac tier 1 and tier 2 advisor positions that Apple used to fill with at-home employees have been either subcontracted out or replaced by on-site employees in Sacramento and Austin.

Anybody know why? Remote employees too hard to manage? Real estate savings not worth it?
 
So, to get a job at Apple per these ads, the prerequisites are to be young and photogenic.
 
Yes but who would want to work at an Apple Store? Whacky hours and crazy schedule. Not me.

I really hope that's a typo. Why the hell would you apply to a company 56 times?

For every single Store in my area and position, over the course of past 6 - 7 years. I am not even sure what is wrong.
