Here are the key points I gathered from reviewing your mock interview: - You seemed nervous and uncomfortable being on camera, which caused some fidgeting and inability to maintain eye contact. This is understandable given the unnatural situation of a mock interview. - Your answers were clear and at an audible volume, though you acknowledged using filler words like "um" and "like" when thinking of responses, which is common for many in interviews when put on the spot. - While you may not have felt confident, your posture and greeting of the interviewer were polite and professional. - Remembering to thank the interviewer at the conclusion shows appreciation for their time. Some tips that may help improve future interviews

15. Apple Store
1) Why do analysts say Apple has an advantage over its competitors in computer
and electronics retailing? It sells a single brand, stocks far fewer products and
has only a few hundred stores, compared with Best Buy's more than 4,000.
2) How have Apple's competitors tried to copy the Apple retail store experience?
They try and copy Apple’s store by having the same layout as the Apple store.
3) Why did former Apple CEO Steve Jobs think it was important for Apple to have
brick-and-mortar stores? He wanted Apple to be around for a long time, so he
wanted a good foundation.
ACTIVITY IDEAS
• How important are retail stores to Apple's success? Do you think Apple would be as
successful if it didn't have a retail store chain? Why or why not? I think that it is really
important that Apple has retail stores. This allows more people to see them, and more
people to notice. If they didn’t have a retail store chain, they might not be as seen as
other stores.
• Some of Apple's retail stores are considered high-profile venues. According to Apple,
these stores and their "unique design elements, locations and size" help "promote brand
awareness and serve as vehicles for corporate sales and marketing activities." Apple
says 16 of its stores are classified as high-profile stores. Use the Internet to find out
where these stores are located and discuss why you think Apple wanted a high-profile
store in each location. Have you ever visited one of these stores? If so, how does it
differ from a regular Apple store? I have never been in an Apple store, but it’s probably
because the higher the profile, the more visible they are to bigger companies.
• Chose a retailer that you frequently visit. Make a list of things that make this store
recognizable (store layout, colors, employee dress, etc.) and assess why you think the
retailer decided on this options. After making your list, partner with another student and
compare your stores. Are there common features? If so, how do those features
enhance the customer experience? I picked Aeropostale. This store sells clothing. They
