The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Staten Island, NY) in Jan 2011
Interview
I was invited to the group seminar with about 30 other candidates we had to introduce the person siting next to you. Next they show you some videos about what apple is and how they are Super diverse etc, then this where they catch you , they start to take questions about each videos they want to see how you behave over a part time job & how you behave over apple products . I would recommend not bragging about experience Apple want to hire the person not the Resume. After that they pair you up into groups of 8 and you were given a scenario about a potential customer at apple store you are given 15 mins to come up with a presentation, Remember team work is Vitally so work with your group. After that they give you a clip broad with 20 questions you fill them out the best you can and you leave. The next day I received a Phone call for a second interview and a background check email link. At the second Interview I met up with the store manager she seemed very nice the interview was very informal at the food court She asked me a few basic questions which I seemed to answered correctly. I got an email a after that Saying "They are moving forward with other candidates" Pretty disappointed but I'll Live
Plusieurs entretiens, systématiquement en groupe. Processus assez long. Le plus difficile des entretiens que je connaisse. Parfois une longue attente avant réponse. Possibilité de repasser un entretien 6 mois après un échec.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Racontez une situation difficile et comment vous y avez fait face.
It’s a very long process so have patience. Sometimes they will give you feedback but if you are external you will just receive a turn down email. Keep applying. Apple says it’s not a NO. It’s a not now and that’s very true.
Famously competitive as always, my odds were better since I kept updating my resume whenever I was on the job search. They reached out to me first by email, I completed an application, and then had three rounds of interviews in total.
