You ’ve credibly wondered what it takes to become a Genius at an Apple Store . I mean , they ’re called ace , and it ’s Apple , and they only deal with Apple ware , so they love them to the core , correct ? Well , in at least one Apple Store , not so much . MacBlogz ’s Aviv went through the whole process of applying , whichhe has helpfully documentedfor us . After do 17 out of 20 preposterously easy technological questions correctly , he was offered the chore for $ 17 an hour ( which you’re able to see in the letter below ) . Because that made him not just a Genius , but a genius . One of the two managers interviewing tell him that it actually did n’t matter how many he was able to answer — most of the staff ca n’t even do one-half of them , stuff and nonsense like :
• What is peculiar about the Mac Pro ’s current Ram apparatus ? • What is Automator and what does it do ? • If a drug user account maintain crashing on login what do you do ? • What are 3 keyboard combinations you’re able to boot your reckoner with ? • Are you familiar with OS 9 ? • If a customer asks you to synchronize music from their iPod to computer , what do you say ? • How do you answer a customer who desire to share music with his protagonist via iTunes ?
If you’re able to make it that feeble filter — I do n’t even own a Mac ( unless you countmy late build Hackintosh ) and I can answer five of those — you’ll be welcomed into a loving surroundings that is ” ‘ very nonindulgent ’ with its employee and what they do with their innocent fourth dimension . ” Lovely , but Aviv turned the pass down .
It just shows you that ace are no different from any embodied technical school accompaniment group , be it Geek Squad , Firedog or Crapkitty Battalion : Some of them really know their shit , but almost ( or just ) as many do n’t bang the command key from that gaping , screaming hole in Steve Ballmer ’s aspect .
