Questions are being asked of Apple’s working with practices after an extremely appreciated previous engineer at the technology giant was declined for a task at Apple’s Genius Bar.

In a Sept. 3 Opinion piece in the New York Times , author Ashton Applewhite informs the story of experiences in aging while looking for work.

Applewhites technology assistance contact, JK Scheinberg, is a previous Apple engineer. His period at the business suches as pioneering the transfer of Mac to Intel processors. A 21-year veteran in the biz, he retired in 2008, and at age 54, while feeling a little agitated, he used to work at an Apple Genius Bar, keeping in mind that he had to do with two times as old as everybody else in the interview.

On the method out, all 3 of the job interviewers singled me out and stated, Well be in touch, he stated. I never ever heard back.

Although the dead air indicate a humiliating oversight on the hiring supervisors behalf, Scheinbergs predicament tells a much deeper issue impacting technology business, according to Chris Matyszczyk of Cnet .

Just as in the Valley it’s difficult to get away the impression that it’s a young adult’s– and, frequently, boy’s– company, so Apple shops likewise offer the impression of the brains seeming for that reason lively and young, composed Matyszczyk.
