You will know once training starts
I've been on the job for almost 2 months (iOS) and I will occasionally drop in on this thread but once someone actually gets hired there isn't much point in visiting here. The job itself is OK, the biggest perk being the ability to work from home. The downside is that it is NOT tech support, its customer service and I'm already burned out on 13 year old iPod owners and iTunes Apple ID password problems.
Apple does try to take care of their employees and if you're young and have a limited amount of experience its a great gig. For me its just a temp income maker until I can relocate and get back into network admin. where I have limited exposure to consumers at large. From what I hear, the CPU team is more tech support oriented but I can't move to a different team until I have 6 months in

That is kind of dumb. I was offered full time CPU and start Dec3. I would gladly trade with you! Nothing against CPU I just have a passion for iOS and am working towards my software development degree to hopefully work for apple doing iOS engineering.
About one hour to go.... Who else is sitting here twiddling their thumbs and just waiting to open the boxes at "precisely" 9AM.
Are we suppose to setup the phones too? i.e the headset and stuff?
Phones shouldn't matter for today, but you certainly need the USB headset for class.
Haha... I'm complaining because had I waited a few weeks to apply I would be on the CPU team, not iOS. I'm a computer guy, not a mobile device guy. I'd switch in a heartbeat if I could. As far as SW development, I've done some Android but mostly Linux stuff.
I'm sure they watch this carefully too. That sucks, no more inside stuff on training and stuff
Well now we know about those hired that became ghosts. On day one of training this site was on the top of the list as a no-no LOL.

ya, all i remember being told was that it must be a dedicated land line. no IP phones (vonage type stuff). the line im getting from comcast is just a standard house line.
