I applied at Apple and had my first interview. What's next.

Apple store job scam?

• Anyone ever worked for Apple? I got a job interview with them coming up and I need some tips. It's an hiring event. I've been to a recruitment open day which was just a group interview. Will they do a similar thing? What sorts of things are they specifically looking for in an employee that I should highlight about myself. Also, is this how they normally recruit? Normally I'm sent a letter or get a phone call so I'm a bit dubious about it as it was through two emails. The first said I was being considered for a role I applied for and that I will be contacted shortly. The second was an invitation to the hiring event. I received one of these emails back in 2007 when I applied for a job then but I was already employed and I thought it was fake anyway. They haven't asked for any personal details but it does say I have to RSVP using my apple I.D which I haven't done yet

• Answer:

  There is a excellent free website called glassdoor.com where people who interviewed at Apple provide information on the interview and interview questions. It appears many of the people were invited to a "Hiring Event". In addition you can view reviews from actual employees which are anonymous so the person does not have to fear losing their job. As a free member you can only view a few interviews or reviews but when you post your experience at Apple or any other company you applied on this site you have full privileges. Good Luck! Expert at Apple Posted Mar 16, 2012—2.0 Easy Interview Overall Positive Experience Received and Accepted Offer Interviewed Aug 2011 in Overland Park, KS (took 3 days) Applied online then personally handed hiring manager resume. Got invited to a hiring event, approximately 30 people. Immediately started role playing, speaking individually in front of everyone. Approximately 2 hours. After a week, called back for a second "speed dating" type interview. Just two of us in a room with two groups of interviewers. After a week called back for an individual interview by approximately 7 or 8 around a table. The secret is to be yourself, care about people more than technology. Technology NEVER entered into the equation. Let your true passion for people and their product come out. It's not about "the close" it about the connection. Interview Questions (During the hiring event) Interview the person next to you and tell us why we should hire them. Have you ever had an angry or dissatisfied customer? If so, how did you handle the situation? Be specific. Negotiation Details No negotiation what so ever, they'll offer a set path. Take it or leave it.
