      Mac Specialist (Apple Store) Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Apple in Aug 2014

      Interview

      This was easily the hardest interview process I have been through in my life. From what I understand, the first interview is in a group setting with anywhere from 3 people to 100 people. This is where the weed a majority of the applicants out. I was lucky enough to have a referral, so I wasn't required to take this interview. Interview number 2 was with a hiring coordinator. She took me around the corner to a Starbucks, and it was essentially a conversation, not really an interview. The second interview lasted about 30 minutes. From there, the third interview, which I was also lucky to get immediately after the second interview, was with the Store Lead. Once again, this interview was held at the Starbucks and was very casual. After the third interview, I was told I would hear from them via email (saying thanks for the interest, but we've decided to move forward with different candidates) or a phone call to set up an additional interview. Lucky for me, about 2 hours after my third interview I got a phone call asking me to come in the next day for a fourth interview with the District Manager, this was also a group interview, being me and 2 other candidates. If you make it to the last interview, you're in. This was the most casual of the 4 interviews and from the start you could tell it was a "get to know you session." After that interview, which lasted about 45 minutes because we were having such a good time conversing amongst ourselves, I was taken back into the store and told I would get an email to submit my background check, and once that was complete, I would be receiving my official offer!
