I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Mar 2018
Interview
I got an email about a month after applying to rsvp for a hiring event the following week. We met at the mall where the Apple store is and were told to be there 15 min early. We sat and talked to each other while waiting on the manager then walked to the food court to talk. There were 4 interviewees and the manager. He told us about himself and let us know it’s hard to get a job at Apple and if you don’t get selected it doesn’t mean stop trying. He said it takes some people several times applying to get hired. He let us know up front he was looking for someone very specific at this time so don’t be discouraged if you don’t get to the next round. The process was very comfortable and friendly. We introduced ourselves and then did the round robin of questions while he noted what we said. Then he asked us if we had any questions. The process lasted an hour and then he said everyone would receive an email within 48 hours if they move on to the next interview. He said there were a total of 3 interviews if you made it all the way up. Good luck and I hope this helps someone!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me your name, something about yourself, and a hobby.
General behaviour and tell me questions - very lengthy process, questions are very very specific and can be a little confusing. positive experience, very conversational and positive. there were 2 stages and interviewer was at store level.
Very competency driven. They look for stories based on specific values within the company. The value itself doesn’t have to be in the interview but, they ask for a situation, action and a solution based on that competency.

Very conversational based interview. Will discuss experiences, events within your scope, and overall confidential Apple guidelines. Process is smooth with a pretty short turn around time. Opens the door to a lot of different opportunities with different experience.
