I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cork) in Jan 2015
Interview
45 minutes skype interview, after an initial phone interview and a quizz online as well as a background check, process is fairly quick once you are first contacted by them and they tell you that they would like to offer you an interview. From submitting my appplication untill I was called for the interview took somewhere between one and two weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what do you think your job will be, how do you handle stress etc..
Moderate, not too much to worry, just answer the questions properly and maintain proper discipline. It is just how you analyze and answer the questions asked and respond to it.
I had a first round of phone interview (chat) with a recruiter from Apple before an official video interview session with the hiring manager from Philippines. Both sessions went smoothly - recruiter and hiring manager were friendly and respectful.
