Tek Systems

Wow. I thought their Maryland office was terrible until I had an interview with Shareif Alvarez for a job with Apple. He was very young (maybe 18) and clueless about Information Technology, actually lied on my resume to «try to help» me get a contract job through them with Apple, fluent in ebonics and barely speaks English, and highly unprofessional. He rudely remarked towards the end of our interview that I should have brought 2 forms of ID like his e-​mail said; however, (I’m going to go off the subject of Shareif Alvarez for a minute) his e-​mail also said that parking would be validated and I asked the lady at the front desk for validation. Oh boy. The Caucasian brown-​haired lady rudely yelled at me «We never validate parking on the first interview! Maybe the second or third interview we MIGHT validate but no we DO NOT validate parking for the first interview!» These were her exact words. Anyways back to Shareif Alvarez– I e-​mailed him my birth certificate, ID and SSN Card and that still wasn’t good enough to make him happy for my background check even through everything he needed to perform it was included on those documents and in the e-​mails we exchanged (maybe he’s just too lazy to fill out the forms? hmmmm). These people know nothing about true IT work and will play games with you and waste your time and energy (and money since they don’t validate parking). I would never work for TEKsystems and it’s very sad that large reputable companies like Apple work with these hacks.
Edit — I forgot to mention this — They offered me $ 19 an hour for a Network Operations Center position with Apple doing Tier 1, Tier 2 AND Tier 3 work along with additional roles using Linux, UNIX AIX and IBM’s Tivoli Storage Manager. In the DMV area you would get at least $ 40 an hour for this type of work.
