They asked me STAR questions, that I wasn't prepared for. I studied Q&A on this entire site and he didn't ask me not one of those questions. I was shocked, thrown off and didn't get the offer. I'll be better prepared next time, with recorder on and everything, lol Less

I didn't get any of the questions that people got either. The types of questions I got are in the above paragraph. Strengths, weaknesses, traits that o could bring to the company and behavior that I would bring to the position I'm applying for. I'm sorry you didn't get the offer. I was a nervous wreck throughout the entire ordeal thinking I didn't get it. Try again for regular at home. I saw some postings online dated for Jan 10 for Apple care . Best of luck to you. Less
