Easy Interview – Overall Positive Experience – Yes, and I accepted – Tue, 22 Dec 2015
Interviewed null -1 in Cherry Hill, NJ(took 21 days)
I randomly decided to apply to Apple one evening. My god sister has been employed by Apple for a little over 8 years, so she was able to push my resume internally as well. About a week later, I recieved an email inviting me to a store interview. For some reason the website would not allow me to RSVP, so I called up the store, spoke with a manager, and he was more than helpful with scheduling it.
4 days later, I went to my local Apple store, and was greeted immediately. I smiled, told them my name and what I was there for. They told me that the manager was out on another interview, and to hang out. A few minutes later 2 other people arrived for the interview. We greeted each other, exchanged names, and chatted amongst ourselves. 10 minutes later, a manager came over and introduced his self. He handed us a quick questionnaire, and asked us to fill it out. A few minutes later we walked as a group, to a more private area of the mall.
We sat down, and the manager explained how the interview would go. He assured us that this would be like a conversation, and that there was no need to be nervous. He asked us to introduce ourselves, and tell the group one interesting fact. Alot of people seemed to struggle with this. The best advice i can give is to smile, give your name, occupation and what your interest are. After that he asked a series of four questions. After our 45 minute conversation he asked if we had any questiosn for him. We asked a few genefal questions pertaining to how he likes his jib, and why he loved Apple.
After the questions, he explained that there is no specific way that they hire. That it was all about who the hiring team felt would mesh well with existing employees. He explained that if apple was not interested, to not be discouraged. He encouraged everyone to keep applying and nwver give up. He than said that if Apple was interested, that we would be invited back for a second interview. If they were not interested, we would recieve notice.
Its been 5 days, and i was just invited for round 2. I will update after the 29th.
