- Some have you ever thought about what to do to get a job at Apple? Luis Abreu tells us how was your experience.
- Three projections, five interviews for FaceTime and even a trip to the headquarters of Cupertino this is your story with Apple.
Much has been said about how hard it is to work in the company on the block and the hours you have to invest in the Cupertino company to have the happy heads, but little has been said of how he manages to get to work at Apple and it is what we speak here today.
Luis Abreu a British designer UX described as has been your experience when interviewing at Apple to go to work, in your own Blog and we'll tell you how has your experience.
Three projections five FaceTime calls and a trip to Cupertino
With this phrase could describe the experience of Luis Abreu when trying to get to work in the company on the block and say try, because even though Apple was showing much interest in it and was even invited to travel to Cupertino to know, at the end they chose not to hire him.
The three projections five calls FaceTime, a total of two hours, may seem rather excessive at first, but Luis Abreu who was invited to travel to Cupertino, which represents about $ 2,000 just on travel expenses The trust did his chances of getting the job.
The denial notice was sent one week after his trip to Cupertino. Apple itself gave freedom to book your flight and three nights lodging in a hotel that was close to the headquarters of Apple, so who was very surprised that after the time invested in him, they would not have hired. Although not the first time we see as an Apple employee complains of hours invested working for the company on the block , so perhaps he escaped worse.
"The process was very long, especially when you consider the result." Explains Abreu.
The process has taken much time and effort, while making a considerable amount of money that has not been for nothing.
"More than a dozen people investing their time, 2,000 more dollars in travel expenses and everything in four months."
Luis Abreu is UX designer and specializes in the Apple platform. Makes product, interaction, visual design and development of native high-fidelity prototypes. It is also interested in understanding the new tools to improve your workflow and new possibilities or limitations are introduced into new devices. Despite the preparation and interest Abreu, it seems that Apple has not been sufficient and hence the not superficial that it claims to have received. Yet according to a study, Apple is one of the companies most valued by its employees .
Not everyone was so nice with Apple
Everything can seem like a dream or an opportunity, but Abreu was not all that nice, there were certain things I did not like about the treatment they had by Apple when conducting interviews.
"Do not waste time with the dumb." It was what he told one interviewer Apple
Besides the interviews seemed more based on only indirect questions, which leave much room for bad judgments or false receiving what his opinion really. In general Luis Abreu seems quite happy with his work, which earned him to take care someone and so I had the chance to meet everyone who attended him in Apple, as we have known thanks to BGR . Although only serve him for that end.
Do you think Apple is too hard on your interviews? You can leave your thoughts in the comments.
