Someone cares!

I got this email yesterday... woohoo for some sort of response to my job searching! After my shopping spree at the Apple Store last weekend, I thought it would be fun to have them pay for me to love and promote their products... instead of doing it for free and on my own time.

The Email:
Hey Angela,

Congratulations!

You have been selected from the many hopefuls that are interested in working at our Apple Store coming to Dadeland, FL. You possess something that we are looking for and we want to meet you!

What:
• Attend a hiring seminar and interview with the management team of the Dadeland Apple Store.
Learn about the store, the position, interview process, and time line.

We are looking for candidates for the following roles:

Specialist
Concierge
Personal Shopper
Business Partner


It went on to detail the when and where, so I signed up for an info session on September 26th. I don't know when they're opening the store, but I do know that the mall is about a 4 minute walk from my apartment. You can't beat that for ease. The only thing I'm hesitant about is going back to working in retail. Don't get me wrong- there is no job I think that I'm too good/educated for (hello, I once worked the Dunkin Donuts 6AM shift... and that was with a college diploma), it's just that I've gotten used to the whole no nights and weekends thing. I enjoy not having to worry about going out of town on the weekends, and being able to do whatever during the evenings. I also don't know about working the holidays- I already have a ticket booked for Thanksgiving to go see Sarah in New York... the whole family is going. Also on the agenda is Colorado to see Alan for Christmas (the whole family is going there, too). I'm going to Atlanta in the beginning of October for a wedding, and Sarah, Mom, and Dad are coming down the first weekend of November for an engagement party. As you can see, the schedule for the weekends is filling up fast- where is there time for work? I'll check out the info sessions- maybe I can work mostly during the week.

More info to come....

that's great that they're opening up a Dadeland Apple Store... right now the only other locations in South Florida are The Falls, Aventura and South Beach. Pretty much it.

The only downfall is that the Apple store can become quite the circus, especially around the holidays and after new releases.

Totally jealous about the ipod-- they've had that promotion for a while, its quite awesome.
