Hi

I am looking at what to do for a job. As my current plan is not really working.

I have been interested in Apple products.

Are there any jobs at Apple which don't require previous experience or education in that area.

Can anybody offer some advice?

Thanks

my advice would be to have a very clear idea of exactly "what" you want to do at apple and take it from there, unless you want to work at their retail outlets.

Unless you want to work in retail will you not have to move to California?

Do you want to be the cleaner at your local apple store, or help develop new products?

Or move to china and put together the products. You could make loads of friends and think of the food.

If you know how to use a Mac and are enthusiastic about them, you can get a job in an Apple store.

I heard there is a waiting list, though. (crazy) So just drop your CV in and they'll add it to the pile.

I'm not really sure what I want to do, maybe like hardware engineering or genius.

So you have no previous experience or education (according to your first post) but you want to work in a technical department? confused

With respect, engineering is quite different...

Well I have a modem that has "Turbo Boost" written on it, so maybe a background in Motorsport Engineering would be an asset?

Sounds ideal for a store "genius" role though... wink
