A guy named Sam Sung used to work as an Apple specialist? This is both funny and awesome, but his latest online action is even more awesome. 
 
Sam Sung used to be an Apple employee until late 2013. He worked as a specialist in Apple's Pacific Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. 
 
Now he introduces himself as a marketer and headhunter in British Columbia. Sam Sung tells the story on how he found an old Apple business card with his name on it and he decided to auction it off on eBay along with his Apple t-shirt and badge. All the proceeds are to be donated to a non-profit organization that takes care of the kids.
 
His eBay auction page explains how the business card fell out of a book. This is the only Apple Sam Sung business card he has left and whatever he will get, minus the eBay fees, will be given away to Children's Wish in British Columbia and Yukon. This is a non-profit organization that grants wishes to sick children. 
 
The auction will end on August 15, and so far there are over 70 bids that raised the bar over $2000 (€1497.15). Sam Sung promised to post a picture with the director of the NGO, Jennifer Peterson, when he's giving away the money. 
 
Talking about his time at Apple, Sam Sung says he had a great time working there and he would recommend it to anyone. He hopes his old business card will go to an Apple enthusiast with a sense of humor and the desire to raise some money for a good cause. 
 
He explains that the auction is for the business card alone, but he framed his old uniform and lanyard and will include it in the package. Whoever wins this will have to pay for the shipping as well. Currently, the shipping fees for Canada are $70 (€52.40) and there is no info on shipping fees for other countries. 
 
The Apple Specialist job Sam Sung used to have is one of the jobs in the Apple retail stores. According to Apple's Jobs website, a specialist is the guy or girl that works towards turning visitors into loyal Apple customers. Sam Sung was in charge of presenting the Apple products in a professional, but friendly way and create excitement around them. An Apple Specialist needs to be able to provide solutions to customers and be able to interact in such a manner that the potential buyers will like the products even more.
