Hi All, I’m reaching out behalf of a friend who is absolutely exceptional in photography, film and also content. He works in Apple retail and is really trying to go to corporate anyone here in that department that can lend a helping hand?
Ask on Slack.
Slack for retail is not as useful as it can be for corporate folks. Unless you know a public channel that is available in the retail workspace you can share?

Question about women in their 30’s?
There are a ton of talented photographers that work at Apple retail. Some were even helping Austin corporate for corporate events. My best advice for a retail employee to try to jump to Corp for photography is get some kind of Career Experience or rotation if it's available for retail yet. They need to network like a mf because I'm sure those photographer jobs are very few and very coveted. Good luck to your friend - I was able to do the jump from retail and currently a PM, but it takes patience and grit for sure.
Thanks, I’m this person’s manager and would love for the team member to move forward, I understand the CE route, but was hoping to get in touch with some folks. Before anyone thinks it’s favoritism, I put the same energy for every single one of my team members. Retail is tough and my team deserves better. I do have him reaching out to folks but unfortunately rarely get a reply back. Thought to think outside of the box and reach out on blind. Looking to head out of retail myself, but that’s a conversation for a different day.
