Anybody here ever been to an apple hiring event or already an apple employee?
Is it worth it? I got invited to the retail hiring event but after doing some light research I found out that they do weird activities to weed out the antisocial people. I'm not a shutin, since I already have a full time retail job, but I don't think I'll be able to talk to a group of 30-40 more attractive and confident people without my voice continuously cracking, stuttering or something. This is why I'm asking if it's worth going to. Are the pay and benefits well? I make $10.10 an hour right now at my full time retail job that I hate.

do you want to be a fucking apple genius?
also if you don't have the social skills why the fuck are you doing retail

There are very little alternatives

I want to learn how to fix Apple products and such. I didn't apply to be a sales floor grunt who greets and schemes snobby girls and old wealthy doctors.
I do have the social skills I believe, but as I stated, I cannot do 1 on 1s with much more confident, attractive people that are clearly much better off than me in life. I feel like a slave. It's one of the reasons why I don't talk to a lot of customers in my current retail job in an upscale area.
I applied for the job because I have an interest in learning, progressing, and hopefully finding a career that I actually enjoy.
Should I do it?

Just do it. You literally have nothing to lose

If people who look and are better off in life than you make you feel worse or like a slave, you should try and think of their problems, their lives are not perfect. I'm by no means a shrink, but people who look like they have it better might not always actually have it better.
Other than that, you've got nothing to lose, and even if you're not being accepted. You won the experience.

Steve used to hate people who over dressed. Business types were not welcomed.

Jobs also hated showering.

Just talk to everyone you meet in a condescending matter, Works well for me.
Fuck everyone else.
I went and I love Apple but holy shit they want Steve Job to fuck them.
If you want the job. Act like a fanatic.
