I think you are posting in the wrong forum... were affiliate marketers not folks looking for a 9-5 cubicle...

you would be better off contacting the various affilaite managers that frequent this board and discussing this in private.. then doing a public post...

almost forget... isnt an Apple a small tasty fruit???

I didnt know I need a MBA to eat fruit.. http://66.132.187.8/smilies/rotflol.gif http://66.132.187.8/smilies/rotflol.gif http://66.132.187.8/smilies/rotflol.gif

One would think that a forum that treats of the subject of affiliate marketing would be the kind of place they may get the attention of the kind of person they are looking for, no?

As far as the MBA goes, they are obviously looking for somebody who is qualified to conduct business on their behalf.

I attended and graduated from SHK in ecommerce does that suffice?

Give the guy/gal a break!

Entry to this fora is a bit odd given the rants of parrots et al.

This appears to be an interesting job and Apple just needs some education regarding who does what and why.

This IS the Affiliate Managers-->Job Openings forum of the board. So, it is indeed the right place to post openings for affiliate manager jobs.

I will keep my sarcastic comments about anyone thinking they can "manage" affiliates to myself (for now), along with my usual anti-j*b vitriol.

Suffice to say that affiliate "managers" may want a job, but affiliates who are making enough money without one probably would have less-than-zero interest!

Sloan,

Is this a Headquarters position or a field position (field office or telecommute)?
