      Average Interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Houston, TX) in July 2015.

      Interview

      I did four interviews as a group. The first was the hiring event I was invited to by a recruiter. The second interview was with a hiring manager at one of the Apple stores. The third interview was with another hiring manager. The last interview was with the marketing manager at one of the Apple stores. We weren't asked any technical questions. It was mainly to figure out your personality and how you'd interact with customers and how well you handle difficult situations. I applied for Genius, but am working as a Specialist. Not a big deal though. From the 1st to last interview was a total of about 2 weeks. It was really a quick process!

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Apple.

      Interview

      I was contacted via Email by the store manager, and selected a time from the slots available for that day. There were 6 of us in that group, and we were escorted into a room where we watched a few videos that provided a general feel for the type of people Apple is looking for, store design, and role definition. Not much attention is paid to how much you know, it seems to be more about feeling out your personality and seeing you you are cut from the same cloth as the people you would be working with. I actually like this approach, I feel like its not the type of job youre going to get giving canned responses you think they want to hear.

      Store manager was super friendly and the interview, while not a big fan of these cattle call style interviews, was not overcrowded and directed quite well. At the end we were told 24-36 would be needed to make a decision about next steps.

      I applied through other source. The process took a week. I interviewed at Apple (Chicago, IL) in December 2014.

      2:1 interview

      3 interviews

      1st manger
      2nd store lead
      3rd district lead

      Sat down with immediate managers and was asked about my interest in the position.
      Asked questions on how you deal with ambiguity.
      Asked to give examples.

      Know your resume. If you are personal and a patient person, they will want you. If you are not patient, the job is not for you and you would not like it. You have to like to teach and have the patience to explain issues. It is a not a fixing and repairing position first, but a customer service and experience position.

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Apple (Virginia Beach, VA) in November 2014.

      Interview

      Long and drawn out for no reason...I'm well qualified but interview process was horrible. I've had 8 interviews over the course of 3 months. It's overrated. I actually like and am enthusiastic about Apple products have a great personality (so I'm told) but through 8 interviews I get nothing.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Apple.

      Interview

      Overall the interview process is fairly straight forward, you are first called in for a group interview and then from there you may have up to five one-on-one interviews. I recently finished the group interview which had around 20 applicants. It started by having each applicant introduce themselves including their background and what they're passionate about. From there they show several videos about what it's like to work for Apple and after each there's a discussion on things that you noticed from the video and how service from Apple is different from other retail stores. Next they split us up into two groups and they had us pass around an iPad with different interview questions that we answer in front of the entire group. Expect four interview questions each and then one group question which is basically asking why you would make a good Apple employee. Finally they allow for any questions that you have and then you're finished.

      Interview Questions

      • There wasn't one question in particular, but most of the interview questions are extremely customer service based so if you don't have mush experience in that field then you may struggle.   Answer Question
