Apple Work Values

Daily Duties at Apple:

As a Creative, my main role at the Apple Store is that of instructor, whether guiding small groups to learn or helping individuals’ complete projects. I use presentation skills to act as a facilitator, helping users get set up, get trained, and get going. But I'm also an excellent listener, taking the time to understand what each user hopes to achieve or learn. By adjusting my teaching style to each user's individual skill level, I maximize his or her understanding and `time. I recognize that purchasing a new product can sometimes help customers attain their goals. I spend much of my time leading scheduled training sessions, but I'm still comfortable interacting with store customers between those sessions. I am proud to enrich the lives of others - whether customers or team members - through teaching, in the way only a Creative can.

What they like about Apple:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
