Average Interview – Overall Negative Experience – No – Thu, 14 Aug 2014
Interviewed Aug 2014 in San Diego, CA(took 5 days)
Store manager called me on my cell phone and we had a 10 minute chat regarding why work for Apple, scheduled an interview for the following week. It was me and some other applicant, some other manager took us outside and asked questions from his list of questions, I guess. I could tell he was not interested because interview was short and seems like he didn't care what I had to say. I could of said "I want to work for Apple so I can rob apple of all the secrets they have and sell them online or to Samsung"- it would really make no difference.As expected two days later I got an email saying they will go forward with other candidates.
The manager told us every week 1500-2000 people apply for that only ONE location, I am sorry but I have to challenge that. I live in San Diego- 1.3 million people population. According to him, around 100000 people (2000 applicants X52 weeks in one year) apply to work for THAT only one location. That makes every 13th person in San Diego applies to work for that only ONE store (UTC, La Jolla). Young, old, pregnant - every 13th person in San Diego. We also have 2 other stores in San Diego area. So, now every 4th person- young or old applies to work at Apple in San Diego ? Each year ? Please.
