I have just received via email my acceptance into the wonderful world of Apple retail. I will be pulling part time hours (while still doing my current career stuff) as one of their many Specialists here in town. I start training right away – this weekend – where I am sure I will have to sign some sort of confidentiality contract. I have a feeling I will not be able to blog about incidents or events happening within the crystal box known as the Apple Stores. <\/p>\n

I say that because when I asked a few direct questions regarding operations, I was given a standard answer from a couple people: “As you know, Apple is a fairly secretive company. I’m unable to answer that…”<\/p>\n

And speaking of the hiring process – it’s been like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. Not in a bad way, either. It’s been fun, curious and eye opening. <\/p>\n

No. I will not get you a staff discount on an iPad.<\/p>\n

Me first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
