I work for Apple.
You heard right.
Today I had an interview with the Accounts Manager of Apple.
We went to a japanese restaurant and got super-expensive sushi, talked about Katamari Damacy [she asked about my macbooks wallpaper,] and I showed her my work on my MacBook.
--- Long story short, I was hired for the job. What is my job? I'm a designer. I'm going to be creating the material that apple prints for the entire boston area, including all of the local colleges. She really liked my work, and said I'm a very required new member of the Apple team. She said that the current-day designs for apple's localized material sucks and they need a good designer to pump up the imagery and make it more interesting to pick up and read. This is where I come in!
On top of this, I'm going to be an apple representative. This means I'm going to be travelling to various colleges/places to give live demos and classes [in front of big screens!] about the latest developments in Apple/Mac OS and teach how to use software like the iLife suite, maybe even some adobe stuff, and how to take better advantage of your programs.
-- For example, they want me to give a presentation on how to use Boot Camp to use windows on your Intel Based mac. This means they want me to show them how macs can utilize windows games on the mac -- and give a live demo of Half-Life 2 on the MacBook hahaha.
Previous students who've had this position have gotten free stuff [like ipods, ipod hi-fi's, you name it,] soooo I'm looking forward to that...
This could be the start to something great! I could be getting my foot in the door, if years go by, maybe I can work my way up? Either way, Apple Corporation looks good on my resume.
It's only a verbal hiring for now -- I do the rest next week.
