4 . Jobs at Apple

Amaze Yourself, Amaze the World

A job at Apple is unlike any other you've had. You'll be challenged. You'll be inspired. And you'll be proud. Because whatever your job is here, you^’ll be part of something big.

Every detail matters.

Every piece of packaging. Every swipe of the finger. Every "How can I help you?” Everything. And it doesn^’t matter just some of the time. It matters all of the time. That's how we do things at Apple. The result is some of the best-loved products in the world.

Simplicity isn't simple.

Ask anyone here. It's hard work. It means forever asking, “Why is it this way?” and “How can it be better?” It means rethinking every customer experience until the clutter has fallen away — until all that remains is what's essential, useful and beautiful. That might be a new product feature that delights even die-hard fans. It might be a customer support call, or even a display in an Apple store, arranged and lit exactly so.

Creativity from every comer.

When you imagine the creative process at Apple, at first you may not picture someone in HR. Or operations. Or finance. But we expect creative thinking and solutions from everyone here, no matter what their responsibilities are. Innovation takes many forms, and our people seem to find new ones every day.
