And if you're not Tim Cook, you can read this article too, I guess…
Skip the borrrring application and reach out to the hiring manager directly.
If you're Tim motherfucking Cook, just ball really friggin' hard and introduce yourself with a direct phone call (your people can find the contact info). They'll be all like “HOLY FUCKING SHIT” and hire you right on the spot!

Don't be afraid to stick up for yourself in the hiring process, bro!
If a potential employer is asking for your signature “Tim Cook ideas” and “Tim Cook time,” say something along the lines of: “it sounds like you want me to do some dope-ly effective consulting work for you, and I'd be happy to oblige! My consulting fee is $150,400/hr.” Blammo! MindFUCK!
If you're not Tim Cook, well… now you're just wasting time that could be spent on your writing sample—if you farm content from Reddit it'll only take you four and a half hours-ish! Keep your head up buddy.
Never be afraid to pass on an offer when the employer is unwilling to negotiate the terms of your employieyoyieoyment.

Show some personality, breh.

Use the Apple Plane. (iPlane?)

Word? Word.
