I had a friend that works for Apple refer me to work for the company, so I went online and created my profile, submitted my interest to work at numerous locations and then got an email back about 3-4 days later asking me to atten an "invitation only hiring event." I RSVP'd, and went to the group seminar. It was 2 hours long, there were about 20 of us in the room, and 3 managers from the store present. They showed us a Keynote presentation about working at Apple and what different positions there are within the store and things of that nature. We then had to turn to our neighbor and find out some things about them: their name, where they currently work, why they want to work for Apple, and an interesting fact about them. After everyone had gone though introductions, we then had to pair up into groups that had nametags with similar Apple products on them and think of a creative way to tell the group about our product and how it's features would benefit people. After all the presentations, they opened up to a Q&A, and advise they would email you I they chose you to proceed on to round two: the group interview. I got my invite back the next morning!! Went to the store again, this time only 6 of us were there with 3 managers asking us all interview style questions... Each person had to answer each question, and it only lasted about an hour. They them advised that if they chose you to go on to the final round, you'd be contacted once more. Half an hour later, I received an email stating they were going with another candidate... :(
