00000a_fotonews001In Italia l'azienda di Cupertino assume personale per l'imminente apertura del primo negozio romano, quello di ROMAEST. Tutti i dettagli.
Che Apple debba aprire un Apple Store in Italia è noto, che lo faccia a Roma pure e che sarà dentro al nuovo centro commerciale ROMAEST anche.

Quando? Il centro commerciale in questione doveva inizialmente essere inaugurato in giugno ma poi, a dar retta al costruttore, la nuova data è diventata settembre. Sul giorno ancora nessuna certezza.

Facendo un controllo nella sezione delle ricerche di personale del sito di Apple si scopre per tale negozio il personale non è ancora al completo.

00788b_applestoreromaestA pochi giorni dall'inaugurazione Apple non ha ancora trovato tutti gli addetti necessari per tale negozio.

Ne mancano nove.

Per l'Apple Store di ROMAEST (negozio R038 per Apple) si ricercano:
1) Assistant Store Manager # 2468874
1) Back of House # 2468909
1) Business Consultant # 2468885
1) Cashier # 2468907
1) Inventory Control Specialist # 2468918
1) Lead Mac Genius # 2468902
1) Mac Genius Administrator # 2468889
2) Mac Specialist [1 a tempo pieno e 1 part time] # 2468923 e 2468929

La cosa francamente assurda è che, con tutti gli attuali browser utilizzati su piattaforma Mac (Safari, Firefox, Opera e Camino), non si riescono ad ottenere le specifiche delle varie posizioni. Solo pagine bianche.

Bisogna recuperare il dismesso Internet Explorer di Microsoft in versione 5.2.3 e, magicamente, tutto sarà leggibile.

Vien da chiedersi se sarà proprio per questo motivo che non li trovano?

Siccome molti non utilizzano più il browser di Microsoft (che lo ha dismesso per la piattaforma Mac OS X), riportiamo di seguito i testi completi delle specifiche.
