I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple in Sep 2012
Interview
Very friendly interview via Skype, landed my third interview from the hiring manager. Know your Apple Products and how to navigate through iOS. Use analogies to explain technical answers, they're interested on how you communicate your knowledge to non tech savy people. Third interview was via skype as well, very laid back. Most of the questions were geared toward troubleshooting. Lots of hardware related questions.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Apple (Dallas-Fort Worth)
Interview
Interview was comprehensive and process straight-forward. There were a series of calls and video calls where they got to know how savvy I was with technology. I think the most important thing is how adaptable a person can be to learning new tech.

Question 1
A recent example of troubleshooting and how it was resolved
The interview went well overall. The interviewers were kind and professional, and they asked relevant questions related to my experience and the role. The conversation felt comfortable and informative. Great
The Apple At Home Advisor interview process typically involves multiple stages, including an initial phone screening, a technical interview to assess your troubleshooting skills, and a behavioral interview focusing on customer service experience and cultural fit. Candidates may be asked scenario-based questions to evaluate their problem-solving abilities and communication skills.
