Average Interview – Overall Positive Experience – No – Fri, 17 Oct 2014
Interviewed Aug 2014 in Providence, RI(took 14 days)
I submitted my application online and heard back in a couple of days, I was asked to attend a hiring seminar on a Sunday night (weird). At the seminar there were about 30-40 different potential employees and about 6-7 apple representatives. We filled out a short questionnaire asking about the positions we were applying too then the manager went around and asked us all our favorite food, and why we want to work at apple. Throughout the rest of the night we watched many videos on the apple credo and working at apple store in general. The manager informed us that she was unsure of how many positions were open at the time and that she would get back to us all individually on whether or not we made it to the second interview. I was called by an apple specialist the next day and asked to come in the following day for another interview. At the second interview I arrived at the apple store 10 minutes early and waited for the interviewer. When I finally met him he said that there was another potential candidate hiring at the same time. All 3 of us went to a nearby coffee store and we were asked questions by the interviewer. Some of the questions were Why do you want to work at apple? What is your favorite apple product? and what is an obstacle you have had to overcome recently? Unfortunately the next day I received an email stating that I was not called back for another interview however the whole process was very positive and and educational experience. The only part that was somewhat intimidating was the difference in candidates in the second interview. I am young to be applying for a job at apple and it was intimidating to be interviewing with a much older more experience person however I definitely learned from it.
