I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
I actually heard back about a month after applying for the Specialist job. I was then invited to the hiring event which included about 30 other candidates as well as about 10 current employees interviewing you. You watch a couple videos in a group setting, then are split into groups of about 3 or 4 to get interviewed by 1 employee. The questions they ask are a lot about "tell me a time when...." After this hiring event, I heard back the day after via phone for a 2nd interview which is a panel interview. This one was with 3 or 4 of different store leaders and market leaders. This one is definitely more serious and formal than the first one. Here, they ask you 'what separates you from other candidates?" etc. After this interview, I received a phone call about a week later for my final interview with the store leader. This final interview was more of the leader telling me about the position and just an informal getting to know me type of interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to build rapport with someone.
It’s a very long process so have patience. Sometimes they will give you feedback but if you are external you will just receive a turn down email. Keep applying. Apple says it’s not a NO. It’s a not now and that’s very true.
Famously competitive as always, my odds were better since I kept updating my resume whenever I was on the job search. They reached out to me first by email, I completed an application, and then had three rounds of interviews in total.
