Do you have to know someone to get a job at Apple? Do they find you? I feel like the applying through the LinkedIn job posting is just sending the application out to space.

I have a buddy who worked for Apple. He spent almost a whole year creating a huge campaign with a giant celebrity. Think one of the biggest stars in music alive today. They shot it, edited it, graded it, everything. Then Apple decided they didn't want to run it. That was it. A beautiful idea executed with unlimited budget, just gone into thin air. He's not allowed to put it in his book. He's not allowed to talk about it. He wasn't even allowed to take a copy to watch for himself and show friends/family.

Apparently this is standard practice. They make two or three campaigns and only run one of them. Would be cool to work there, admired the company since I was a kid - back in 1996 when they weren't cool at all. But the heartache of losing a year's work would be too much for me, I think.

Pretty standard as a vendor too, unfortunately

I didn’t ultimately get the job, but I went through multiple rounds. They found me. I also don’t like to play into the lore of these places, but the whole thing was a bit mysterious.

Not really. I have a unique background though and had gotten some press.

Maybe their ATS is super sophisticated and not a time vortex like so many others.

I wanna know too sigh. They used to do that Orchard program and hire most of the people who come through there.

i was reached out by a third party recruiter and i got a freelance offer for a year. Money was nice

Find the recruiters. Reach out to them.

Do not, I repeat, do not expect to find a decent art director role via linked in.

I had a friend refer me and the application was lengthy. You literally have to log into your Apple ID to apply. So who knows what they got to see on my phone or iCloud. Anyway, no one ever reached out to me.

Hi Everyone,

Agency is asking me to write a letter explain my situation in those 6 months. I was actively applying for jobs and appearing for interviews during those 6 months. I will explain this in detail in the letter. Do I need to submit any other document.
Your help will be appreciated

Then heard they are viewed as little higher than outsource teams (i.e., the offshore teams only given non-judgmental work). What’s your opinion?
