      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Apple.

      Interview

      Apple's interviewing process is a lot different than anyone else's. After you apply on apple.com, and get selected among the thousands and thousands of applications, they will call you and ask you to a hiring event. DON'T wear interview clothes, it's kind of cheesy. They just want to see who you are and what your social skills are. It's very casual. (I suggest nice blue jeans and a nice top.) From there, we played an introduction game called "connection" just to get us acquainted with one another and to loosen us up. About 3 people talked briefly about Apple and then we broke off into smaller groups to do role play scenarios. Just be cool and casual, and don't worry if you're nervous. Everyone else is too! After that, we passed an iPad around and answered some questions. Nothing too intense, again they just want to see the type of person you are. After that, you all go home and await the next call. The next interview I interviewed together with another girl. It was very casual and I didn't feel any pressure at all. Really let your personality come out in these interviews. A couple days later I was called in for my 3rd interview. I talked with the store leader and another manager. I answered questions just like every interview before. Finally, I got a call for the final interview with 3 managers and the hiring supervisor. I was with 2 other people and these questions got a little bit harder, but they never grilled us. It was always a very loving environment. Though it was an extensive process, I liked all of the interviews because if I bombed one I could make it up in another. They take your nervousness into consideration and are very kind. I got a call 2 days later with an offer and began training a week later. I love Apple and all the benefits! It's the best job I've ever had!
