Interview Details – I applied online and set up an interview for the following week. I was called the next morning and asked a few questions about my work experience.

Interview Details – Meeting with Apple One was easy and friendly. I came prepared in an appropriate suit with my updated resume. We talked about my pros and cons. They did not ask any particularily tricky questions. Apple One wants to find a position for you that best matches your skills and personality.
Interview Question – What sets you apart from the competition? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – This was my first job negotiation. Apple One offered me a $19/hr job and since that was $7 higher/hr than my previous job, I jumped at it. If I could go back, I would have waited a day and renegotiated.
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Minneapolis, MN Feb 2011 – Reviewed Oct 24, 2012
Interview Details – Interviewed first by Branch Manager and then several other people from office. They make it seem like they are interested in you but they are also seeking a lot of information from you from previous employers so when they reference they can flip it into a job order.
Interview Question – They might appear very casual but they are interviewing you every step of the way. View Answer
Negotiation Details – There isn't any. It's take it or leave it.

Interview Details – I applied for an HR Manager posted on Appleone staffing agency on Sept 10. I was contacted by Andi Cohen a staffing associate on Sept 12, and scheduled an interview with her for Friday, Sept 14 @ 11 am. In the interim she send me an email that required that I bring in I-9 ids which were my social security card, and 2 other types of id. I thought it was rather strange to have to bring this is for a preliminary interview, so I emailed Andi Cohen and asked her why was I required to bring these types of documents. She gave me so ridiculous response that they do this to save time down the road, I told her that I would not be bringing in any I-9 documents in the preliminary interview, these documents are only required to bring in to your new employer once an offer was made. I told Andi that if it would a problem to continue with the interview, to please cancel the scheduled appointment. She responded by saying that it would not be a problem. On Thursday, Sept 13, I received an email from Andi informing me that she had just received an email informing her that the position was being placed on hold, but I was welcome to come in anyway to meet her. I responded by saying that I would not be coming in, until another position would be available that matched my criteria. I realized that this position was bogus, they just wanted to me to come in a fill out an application so they could fill their database with new applicants which they never found jobs for. I read AppleOne reviews in other websites and read the same complaints from other candidates about them posting bogus posting on the internet. Be careful, one should never turn in ones Social Security or any other types of documents related to establishing ones' employment/legal identity to a recruiter on a preliminary interview.

Interview Details –
Applied on monster, then reached out to an Associate who posted the job listing. I gave him a call and he gave me a call back. We spoke for a little bit but didn't really ask any specifics and did not really explain much about Appleone and what the role entailed. At that time, we set up a time to speak via Skype. He asked me very few questions and was not knowledgeable on the role whatsoever. I asked him questions about the role and he was clearly stumped and had to re-correct himself multiple times. Upon interviewing, he emailed questions to think about, and only one question came up.
Also, he asked for a list of companies I was applying to and a list of references. He contacted my references, thereafter I wasn't given notice that I wasn't the right fit for the position. So beware, they will contact your past employers whether or not you're a good fit for the position.

No Offer – Interviewed in Columbia, SC Aug 2011 – Reviewed Sep 8, 2012
Interview Details – Don't even waste your time. They "collect all the information" send you to only one interview, and if that is not a match, you get filed in the back of a very deep bucket. Then they annoy you throughout the year, and "suddenly" they just possibly have a job that you "might fit" and send you really annoying emails. And you have to keep them informed weekly as to your status.
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Santa Rosa, CA Jun 2009 – Reviewed Aug 9, 2012
Interview Details – I interviewed twice at AppleOne. I just went over my skillsets and returned to re-take the Excel and Word tests.
Interview Question – Being tested in Microsoft and Excel functions. If you aren't proficient in those technologies then they will teach you and you can re-test to improve your scores and desirability in getting placed. Answer Question
No Offer – Interviewed in Salt Lake City, UT Apr 2012 – Reviewed Jul 26, 2012
Interview Details – Interview felt superficial. It seemed that I was being interviewed to meet a quota, rather than because I am a qualified candidate for the job
Interview Question – They didn't really ask many questions, just went over my resume and said thank you, we'll be in touch. Answer Question
No Offer – Interviewed in Temecula, CA Jan 2012 – Reviewed Jun 29, 2012
Interview Details – Applied for a job online that was more than likely a leader to get people in. I spent 4 hours at the office interviewing, was told I had a great skill set that would net me a job very quickly and promptly ... never heard from them again. And this happened 6 months ago. Attempts to contact the recruiter who "doesn't get paid until she finds me a job" have met with no response. Not impressed with this company. I understand the economy isn't what it was, but I just detest when recruiters like this lure you in, waste your time, and then drop you like a hot potato.
