Apple Back of House Specialist Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)

I applied online without expecting anything to happen. A week or two later I received a call from a hiring manager from a particular store in my area, asking if any other Apple recruiters had contacted me and if I would be interested in interviewing for his store. I had not been contacted by anyone else and agreed to an on-the-spot phone interview. The phone interview lasted about 30 minutes and it went well. He asked me about my previous work experience and a few personality gauging questions, then offered me an in person interview the following week.

The next interview was not what I expected; I was interviewing along with another candidate. It was a little awkward at first but I'm a competitive person so I think it actually helped me in the interview to be better than the guy next to me. I beat out the competition and moved on to the next round of interviews.

In all, I went through 5 interviews to get the job. The first and last interviews were the easiest as the managers were simply gauging me as a person and what I would bring to Apple as an individual with my own interests. All of the interviews were conducted by my current store managers, with exception of the last interview. The last was conducted by the regional manager. Oh, and all of the interviews were competitive, group interviews, ranging from a group of 2-5 candidates.
