Apple seminar

Just got back from the Cardiff seminar, it was fun. We all find out Friday if we get the job.

was your seminar for specialist/concerige?
was it as bad as it sounds from previous messages.. about how you have to make a presentation with a group of people..

and also, what were most girls wearing? (I have an interview seminar in Aug in Vancouver BC)

Hey Rebbeca I tried to send you a private message but you don't accept them. I had iPhone troubles as well remember ;-).

You should be able to now :) (or if not now in a few hours!).

The seminar was for no job in particular at this stage and we were told just to go in casual because "this is Apple". I wore jeans, a short sleeved blouse with a long sleeved top underneath and flats.

apple interview seminar

oh, really, I suppose the interview seminar that I will be going to is different...because I received an email which stated that we must dress business casual (i.e no jeans, no tennis shoes, no suit attire) which makes it seem kind of specific....

But anyway, was the seminar you went to the ones that you have to give presentations?

In that case if I had to dress business casual as a female I'd wear something like..

So its formal but its also casual?

If they got it, they should not be around here anymore.

Yeah apple actually ask those who go to not say anything but you can't go wrong with following the advice already given out in this thread.

And on a similar note, they didnt actually say we couldnt use such forums, they just ask us to keep a few things confidential.

Nope! :) I'll try again later.

Ahh silly forum, I have to wait 24 hours after my join time before I can recieve any messages ! Should be soon. :)

They generally do not appreciate anything leaking. However, my comment was more directed at if you accept a position, you are not even supposed to look at this website, let alone post, god forbid acknowledge you are an Apple employee. Good luck though.

My mistake in misunderstanding what you meant, then. I was just giving my input on what we were told, I'm not an expert on Apple's employees rules, shall keep what you have said in mind, though.

Here's the thing, its generally known that Apple retail know nothing anyway, so what possible threat are those employees when visiting such boards. I think it has more to do with proper representation, if Apple Retail staff were here it could be seen as official help, and look bad for them if things go screwy for any individual who takes their advice.

So I just got an e-mail today inviting me to a recruiting seminar for the new Apple store in Winnipeg, Canada at Polo Park.
I am scheduled to go on August 4 at 12PM in the Fort Garry Hotel.

I've noticed nobody from Wednesdays or Thursdays seminar have chimed in here. :-/

I went yesterday and it was a good laugh - everyone is going to find out today if we're through to the next stage.

[EDIT] I've been called back for an interview next Friday for the new Cardiff Store. :D I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say, so I won't say anything more. :p

I need to bend someone's ear concerning my MacBook! :D

Yes same here, my interview is on Tuesday though. Well done.

They gave no indication and the recruiters don't know when the store will open.

Hey, I did too, I'm pretty pumped since I've always wanted to work for Apple and now they're opening a store! Although I chose to go at 3pm on the 5th... FG hotel too.
