So,if you want to land a job at Apple, here are the five key traits the company looks for in a candidate, as per CEO Tim Cook.
Caring
“We have a group of people in the company that really want to change the world, that want to enrich people’s lives, that want to leave the world better than they found it,” the Apple CEO reportedly said. “It’s that kind of feeling that drives people to do their best work and I’ve seen it happen again and again, and the results are just unbelievable.”
Collaboration
“We believe that strong individual contributors are really key, but two strong individuals that work together can do amazing work, and small teams can do incredible things.
So we look for the ability to collaborate with people – the fundamental feeling that if I share my idea with you, that that idea will grow and get bigger and be better.
It’s not that somebody goes in a corner or a closet and figures out something about themselves, it’s a collaborative effort.”
Creativity
“We look for people that think differently, that can look at a problem and not be caught up in the dogma of how that problem has always been viewed. Somebody that will kind of walk around the problem and look at it from different angles and use their creative juices to come up with solutions.”
Curiosity
“It’s a cliché, but there are no dumb questions. Curiosity is about being curious about something to ask lots of questions, whether you think they’re smart questions or dumb questions. It’s amazing when somebody starts to ask questions as a kid would, how it puts pressure on the person to think through the answers really deeply. And so, we look for this innate curiosity in people.”, said the Apple CEO.
Expertise
“If we’re doing something in industrial design, we need somebody that knows industrial design and has a skillset in it either from their college days or through their work days.”
