Hello, I've been lurking here since April but figured I should post.
I applied for a few AHA positions near my geographical location on April 23rd, directly through Apple, but still have heard nothing from them other than the automated emails saying they got my applications.
Prior to applying I self-studied and tested for and passed the CompTIA A+ Certification exams, so now I'm officially certified for the next 3 years. Along with my certification, I believe my resume and cover letter and application all look very good and I'm very surprised that I haven't been contacted yet.
I've heard that with a certification like mine, you can get a higher pay rate? I'm wondering if that's the case then maybe they don't want to hire me because they would have to pay me more than someone else. Does anyone else here know of any AHA's that also have this certification?
I know with some people it takes months to hear anything, and with others it's only a matter of hours before they get a phone call. It's been over 2 months for me and I'm wondering if I'll ever hear anything. Although I have a certification, most IT jobs I've seen require work experience in the field and I have none. I'm hoping I didn't waste my time and money getting certified.
