Dear Familia,
As you all know, I am a serious Apple fan. The very first computer I ever owned (Thank you Auntie Lisa) and every computer I've owned since then has been a Mac and I've had various versions of the ever-evolving ipod. I could go on and on about why I'm a Mac vs PC girl, but I think it all boils down to the fact that Apple just has better customer care. AppleCare is by far the best technical support/warranty program I've ever had or ever heard of others having. Plus, Apple products are just designed better...in every sense of the word.
I knew that I would need a part-time job this summer and when I found out I would be in Georgetown with Zane, I decided to apply to an Apple Store. I already have retail experience and I know how flexible big stores can be with schedules. Plus, the employee discount ;) A couple months and 3 interviews later and I got the job! Unfortunately, they didn't have any Georgetown openings so I will be at the Clarendon store just a quick bus/metro ride away. I go in this afternoon to do paperwork and then I'm sure I'll start next week sometime. We have our own employee page that had a mini-orientation on all things Apple. I am going to share some of the fun links now.
The Mac vs PC choice was pretty easy for me, but you can learn more about switching if you click the picture above. Remember these hilarious Mac vs PC videos (and how TMobile aka worst company ever stole them?) This one highlights another huge plus for Macs...I've never had to deal with viruses :) Everything you need to know about Mac...in case you were missing school over summer break ;)
Even just waiting in the store for my interviews I learned new things about how Macs operate. I think this is going be a very educational position. I'll let you know some more fun things as I learn more and more.
Love,
Jem
