Average Interview – Overall Neutral Experience – Yes, and I accepted – Wed, 14 Jun 2017
Interviewed Jun 2,014 in Portland, ME
Was recruited from another retail location. Bypassed hiring event, which is where new applicants meet with current employees and try to "stand out" by exhibiting behaviors etc that coincide with what is sought by Apple Retail. Went into interviews with managers outside the store over coffee. First manager was a sales floor manager, then on to a Senior Manager, then Store leader, then Market Leader, then Store Leader again. Long process, but all were very nice and funny and intriguing in and of themselves, they were sure to make it clear we were having conversations, not just grilling me with questions. Be prepared to have questions to ask them that are thought provoking. Eventually got the job offer via phone call. Be sure to put an emphasis on customer focus and team development. Don't worry as much about sales numbers and bragging about how much of whatever you sold. Said to me by the Market Leader..."We're just looking for people who can talk to people, you can't change who someone is. I can teach you everything you need to know about the technology, but I can't teach you to be someone you're not."
