Received an email from Apple today for an offer to apply for a position related to Supply Demand Management:
"...connecting with you with regards to a career opportunity with Apple for the one of the roles we have within Supply Demand Management..."
I received the email at 12:42 PM on 18-Oct-12, and the sender added the following sentence to her email:
"Look forward to hear from you by 19 Oct 12, 9am. Thanks!"
What the hell is this? She's giving me less than 24 hours to send:
- Updated CV.
- Cover letter [obviously not a generic one].
- A Word document with my "insights" on eight long questions asked by her [separate from cover letter].
Are you serious? You believe that I don't have any other work? Am I supposed to leave every other work on my schedule and devote all my time to her email? Arrogance at its finest.
I replied to her declining my interest in the offer.
Such a coincidence that I read a high-profile story today about Apple firing a legendary iPhone-hacker because he forgot to reply to an email offering him a job extension. Apple HR folks are mired in arrogance and clearly are disconnected to the mindset of hackers.
