The Apple iPhone is one of the hottest upcoming tech product releases this year. Samsung is due to launch their copycat device April 1st, but Apple (Computer), Inc. must be banking on the iPhone's success. The company is now hiring all levels of employees for their new iPhone Division in Austin. I'm not sure if all jobs will be local, but the opportunities range from telephone support specialists to highly-paid division managers. This is just one example of how commercial and residential real estate are in demand due to job growth.
Even Texans are often unaware that Apple has support operations based in Austin, called their Applecare Division. Austin is the high-tech capital of the world. Tech and manufacturing companies like Samsung, AMD, Applied Materials, BEA, and Dell call Greater Austin home. Read the list of our region's largest employers.
For those of you who know someone relocating to the area or a local who is interested, search for Apple jobs at http://jobs.apple.com.
Read the Apple iPhone Support Representative job description and about the recent Applestore launch here in Austin. PC experience is a plus!
And remember, Mac users are people too...
Haha, Mac users are people too? I thought they were snide college-aged students with nothing better to do than play on You Tube... Just Kidding! :)
You're right- people often don't realize that Apple (let alone many of the others on the list you provided) has a presence in Austin. Our city is so diverse that it is difficult to see past your own front doorstep sometimes (as life is SO busy in this town), but you've done a great job of shedding light on what a great source of work Austin really is!
I would add that this is crucial in the Real Estate world because without these contributors shipping in their executives that are bonused so generously they can afford these higher end homes, our market wouldn't be doing as phenomenally.
Keep the good posts comin'- you're a great source of factual information in a sea of opinion!
