Average Interview – Overall Positive Experience – No – Sat, 9 May 2015
Interviewed Jan 2015 in New York, NY(took 42 days)
I applied to the West 14th Street Apple Store—the interview process was two rounds with the first as a group interview (six people in the room, all positions) and the second is a 1-on-1 interview at the actual store that would be hiring you. The group interview was a round robin kind of conversation—you aim to be sociable and understanding of everyone else around you and the questions are total softballs, meant to demonstrate your personality more than anything. The 1-on-1 interview is much of the same but way more competitive. For my hiring pool, I think around 100-120 people made it through the first round and then each store (there's 5 in Manhattan) picked 5-6 applicants from there. I didn't get the position but I got to the second round and both interviews went very well. It was just a super competitive position because of how awesome the benefits are, even for part-time workers.
