Apple Employee T-Shirt Unboxing Photos

Several weeks ago, we noted "unboxing" photos of an Apple job offer showing off the sleek and modern look expected of all Apple products.

Earlier this week, we received a new set of photos showing the unboxing of an Apple employee T-shirt. The T-shirts were reportedly given as gifts to Apple call center technical support staff and their packaging and presentation again demonstrate the Apple design aesthetic, including an apparently embossed gift note and the company's obligatory Apple stickers.

This kind of ticks me off as I... an Apple Nerd with mad skills and new to SF and in need of a job... was passed up for a job at Apple retail, yet a girl who didn't even know you could make the Apple mouse right click got the job. So I guess you can "ask" anything... just don't expect an answer.


Maybe they figured she's look better in an Apple Employee T-shirt than you ;)

as far as i know it's not a requirement to know everything about macs when you start your employment. They say they'll convert you when you get there. lol

i have almost never been able to have a difficult question answered by Apple, in person or on the phone. i think they are more concerned with aesthetics when it comes to employees lol.

A computer nerd isn't the type of person they want to employee. It is personality, not skills.

FWIW, I've had the opposite: both on the phone and at the Genius Bar, Apple has always really impressed me--both with solving my problems AND with their stance toward me as a customer.

Of course it varies from employee to employee I realize--I don't doubt that real horror stories exist.

That shirt seems even brighter than the orange or teal ones.

What position were you applying for nacengineer?

Pardon my printing geekiness, but the gift note wasn't embossed, it was letterpressed.

Could it be the attitude?

As far as I'm concerned the less you know about the product the better you'll do in an interview. If you look like you're just going to recite specs it seems they're far from interested. I could be wrong but that's what people seem to say.

The complaining on MacRumors is out of control. I'm sorry you didn't get the job but had you read the original post, you would have seen that these shirts were not for their retail employees but the call center staff. Hey, isn't Microsoft opening a store in SF?
