Average Interview – Overall Positive Experience – Yes, and I accepted – Sat, 4 Nov 2017
Interviewed Oct 2,017 in Phoenix, AZ (took 30 days)
Applied on October 2nd 2017. Received an invitation to interview on October 4th and rsvp’d for the 22nd. My first interview was a group setting, there were five of us at a table at a bakery within the mall that we all walked to together. We all introduced ourselves and later passed around an iPad which had a series of random questions for us to answer. My best advice is to be as outspoken and ask questions when given the opportunity. At this point I noticed the first interview was more of a getting to know us and to see how well we answered unexpected questions. I remained confident and smiled the entire time which I believe helped. Received a call 24 hours later in which I was invited to a second interview round. This time it was me and two other people from the first, so it was obvious the other two were eliminated. This one took place at a table in the grass (outdoor mall) with the Store Leader and another Recruiter. This one was more laid back as there was no iPad questions but more about how we dealt with situations in our previous roles, the questions were definitely a bit more difficult as they really wanted us to elaborate on how overcame difficult situations. One thing Apple likes to go by is the “Lominger Competencies”, so definitely looking that up and mentioning it at the second interview helped me a lot. About an hour after my second interview I was called in for round 3 to take place on November 1st with the store leader again and a Market Leader along with the two other candidates from my second interview , this interview was more of conversation as the market leader said we wouldn’t be there if management didn’t feel we were good fits, therefore we were only asked why we wanted to work for Apple and what our passions were, by this time they didn’t mention we had gotten the positions but it was pretty obvious we did, everyone was super awesome throughout this somewhat lengthy process and Thursday November 2nd I was told my background check would begin. All in all the process from when I applied to when I was given the position was a month.
