I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Apple (New York, NY)
Interview
Extensive interview for retail, but standard for any other job. Apply online (only), 2-3 in-person interviews. Tech interest is important, but truly, I feel Apple hires based on communication and engagement. You need to demonstrate patience with odd questions or people, the ability to diffuse heated situations with customers, and have an optimistic, service-orientated communication.
Upon hiring, you have 2 weeks of training on customer service and engagement followed by in-store shadowing and tech training.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you multi-task in a fast-paced environment?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple (Chadstone)
Interview
Long interview process and very throurough. Make sure you try to STAND OUT from the crowd. Crack a joke and get involved, they love that! Smile and join in as much as you can.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (New York, NY)
Interview
Group interview followed by smaller group interviews followed by individual interviews. It's a long process, but as long as you're honest and enthusiastic you should be good to go. The first round of interviews gauges your interest in Apple, It's more generalized and not as technical. Once you move past that, you get to meet with various leadership across the store who give you as much info as they ask of you. Being personable in the beginning is the key, you can save your technical expertise for the later rounds of interviews

Tell me about a time when you had to work with a team to accomplish a goal?
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Roseville, MN)
Interview
Fairly Casual, Met in the food court of the mall it was at. just had a discussion about Computers, and Life. there we're multiple interviews, with one of the last ones being a "group interview" with the store's GM, who had a chill conversation and opened by telling us the offer was ours to accept since we made it this far.
