so i applied to be a mac specialist last week, went to talk to a manager today and he asked me all sorts of questions involving basic software how do i like macs as well as my past retail experience etc. soo i answered and i think he liked what i had to say since i LOVE apple haha and all its products and services, he told me to come back in a week to talk to him when they start hiring, anyone think i got a chance at an interview?

Well, so that would be a first interview coming up. Good luck!

Just talk about the "customer experience" and "making customers happy" and you'll do fine.

Good luck Keep plugging away, sometimes you may have to try different Apple Stores/ Resellers before one "clicks" ... I know I had too. Especially the authorized/premium resellers for iPods, Macs, very diverse employers.

Sounds like it. Just hope they don't have a spelling and grammar test...

I was thinking the same thing.

I'll assume that this person is at LEAST in high school... maybe even a high school graduate. It sure doesn't make me feel good about our public education system to see how articulate he is in print!

Good luck. Every second interview I've ever had was followed shortly by an offer. I don't know how booked the Apple Store job market is.
