Interviewed Jun 2011 in Miami, FL (took 2 weeks)
I filled out an application online. I received an email correspondence asking me which apple retail store in my area i was applying to. The person informed me which stores they were recruiting for. A round one interview was scheduled via email. The interview was conducted at the store in a group setting with people interviewing for different positions at once. We answered basic questions one at a time and got an opportunity to ask the interviewer questions.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Miami Beach, FL (took 2 months)
The first step in the process was a group interview with people from the entire South Florida tri-county area interviewing for all of the available store positions. This was a presentation followed by small group sessions with a dice that asked questions that was passed around the table and answered by each person. Questions were things such as "name a challenging situation at work, how did you solve it?" That's not an exact quote but it was similar to that. The day after the group session I was scheduled for a 1:1 interview with the store manager from the store I would be working at. That interview was very conversational and the store manager was very personable. At the time the store was not hiring for the creative position but he told me that he would keep my resume on file and they would call me when the position opened. Two months later I received a call to come to the store for another interview. This interview was with the lead creative and another creative who was training for the lead creative position. It was a casual interview conducted at Starbucks. After the interview I never heard from them one way or the other which was frustrating. A week ago (two months after the first round of interviews) I received a call from the lead creative telling me they are once again hiring. I declined an interview.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Boca Raton, FL (took 1 week)
I went to the first interview with an assistant manager and everything went well. Try to engage in small talk make yourself memorable. It was a shot interview and there was a lot of role playing questions and questions, asking you about past situations with customers and you dealt with them.
The way they work is if you get an email, it means you're rejected and if they call you it means that they are moving you in the interview process. I received a call and had a second interview with the store manager, she was very nice and the interview was very similar to the first one. Unfortunately I received an email about a week later, they never tell you why they rejected you, but I believe it was because of my limited availability and the fact that I had two jobs already.
If I would of clear that interview, I would only have one more interview to do with the regional manager. But by that point you're pretty much hired. I had a good experience and the interviews were in a relaxed environment.
Remember to dress light, jean and a shirt. You can even fold the sleeves, trust me it will help. I had an interview with them in the past with a suit and tie, and did not even consider me at all. You could tell from their looks. Steve Jobs is cool, they want to keep that image in their retail stores.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Wellington, FL (took 4 weeks)
On Sunday I went for a group interview for the Apple Specialist Position... There was about 15 people... They held interviews at 3 different times of the day, 9,11 and 3. We were told they were hiring for all three stores... Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington and Boca Raton. All we did is sit in a circle and they asked questions... I spoke up and answered a lot of their questions, I also cracked some jokes because they like people that can have fun... They asked about some life experiences with customers and employees that dont give it their all... Some people didn't even say a word... No call back for them... Then they pulled us out one by one at the end and told us they would be in touch during the week... So I'm waiting for a second interview.

Interviewed May 2010 in Fort Lauderdale, FL (took 3 weeks)
Came in 15 minutes early, the guy was really nice- dressed in shorts and a tee shirt. I was a fool dressed in a shirt and tie, after doing some home work I found that dressing casual is what is best. So when I went for the second interview dressed in a nice shirt and some jeans I got better looks (I guess for my individual style vs the corporate norm). Questions were fairly standard, process took 15 minutes.

Interviewed May 2010 in West Palm Beach, FL (took 4 days)
There was a group of about 6, and we interviewed as a group. They just asked some general customer service questions, and our experiences with apple and their products, it almost seemed like a focus group. After the interview was over, we were called to meet with the store manager and hiring manager 1:1 briefly, they asked me to submit a podcast telling why I wanted to work for apple with in 24 hours. Next day I got an email asking me to e-sign for the backround check, and the day after that got a call asking me to come back for a 1:1 interview with the market manager.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Fort Lauderdale, FL (took 2 weeks)
Apple's hiring and interview process, in my opinion, is absolutely impeccable. First, I applied online and was then accepted to attend a job fair among 30 other people. From that 30 it was narrowed down to 3 who all received a phone interview and position. The hiring process consisted of a 2 day core training, an intensive training and learning experience for all new employees. Then 5 days were focused on in-store training, and once all 5 days were completed, the new employees (including myself) all received the suited uniform tee shirt and were ready to tackle the position.

Negotiation Details
Honestly, Apple will tell you the wages you will be starting at, and from there on out, there is really no negotiation. Negotiation comes once you have begun to excel in your store role.
