Things I learned from this OJT During my time as a computing services technician at Mount Allison University I gained some valuable experience in the IT field. One thing that stands out immediately is the experience of working and maintaining Apple devices. We received some introduction to Apple hardware and a short program on Apple operating systems with Mr. Murray, but did not work with Apples on a regular basis. I regularly worked on Apples in the PC lab. Another frequent task here that was briefly brushed on during my studies at NBCC was laptops, I repaired and configured dozens of laptops during my time here as well as varying models of desktop computers. I gained some experience working with several models of laptops and I even managed to find and roll out a fix for a number of laptops of the same model. I made some mistakes here and there, forgetting to remove a battery from a laptop while taking it apart as a safety precaution comes to mind. After the first week I had a chance to get over my nerves and made very few mistakes as time went on. Perhaps the most exciting part of this OJT are the service calls. These calls give both practical experience and touch a little on working with customers too. I responded to calls in offices, classrooms, and even a few hazardous environments such as a biochemistry lab, allowing me to apply some of my skills in a range of situations. Overall I find that the most important thing I have learned coming out of NBCC and into an IT

Since 1976 Apple’s innovation has helped the company become a market leader in computer and mobile electronics.

Apple is a global company represented in many parts of the world, but born in the United States by computer wizards by the names of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak who founded the company back in 1976 (Capon, 2008). The organization deals with the design and sale of computer hardware, software and offers tech support to its customers. Examples of the hardware the company manufactures and sells include mobile phones, personal computers, iPads, tablets and iTunes with associated brands, like the MacBook and iPhones that represent Apple’s driving force towards its success. It is recognized as a brand leader in consumer electronics by the world in terms of quality and customer satisfaction and despite the wide product range, Apple manages each product in a distinct way that is a single business unit (Mittan, 2010).
During the summer of my tenth grade year, I interned at Accenture, a consulting firm, where I repaired computers and resolved any software issues. At first I started opening and and exploring parts of retired dell laptops. As I became more proficient, I was able to help clients fix PC issues such as broken screens, replacing RAM, and transferring data from the hard drives to another computer. This internship inspired me to consider the Technology industry as a possible career. Taking into consideration the broad range of possible career paths in technology, I decided to major in Computer Science once I get to college.

Experience: The first day is bound to be nerve wrecking, but I dealt with my nerves effortlessly and quickly.

For professionals, it was mainly used for word processing. This PC began series of developments for computers. Three years later, the Apple Macintosh was one of the most anticipated release of computers. On January 22nd 1984, the Apple Macintosh was introduced on an advertisement commercial during the Super Bowl XVIII. This new computer included graphical user interface (icons, menu bars, and tools), a mouse, and a built-in screen. As the decade progressed, professionals used computers for record
Throughout my educational journey, I constantly hone my knowledge in computer science. There is not a day where I did not polish my skills.
"For what characterizes Apple is that its scientific staff always acted and performed like artists - in a field filled with dry personalities limited by the rational and binary worlds they inhabit, Apple's engineering teams had passion. They always believed that what they were doing was important, and most-of-all, fun. Working at Apple was never just a job; it was also a crusade, a
There is a point in ones life where they are confronted with the arduous task of deciding what computer is best for them, this decision process is usually decided on a few factors which are price, reliability, security, storage space and of course the computers speed.

Apple prides itself on offering innovative technology to a society that has become dependent on it. In markets inundated with companies offering similar products and services, Apple has had to rise above and distinguish itself from the masses. While their products have a cultivated a devoted-customer following (our family is one of them), their organization and the values it espouses are what will help them to remain a relevant and successful company in the tech world.
Nowadays, Apple has positioned itself to be an innovator in the personal computer industry and Apple has developed by offering modern products compared to its competitors.
