Probably. I'd say they will wait until all the background checks are done and then start sending out emails.
Does it matter the date the job was posted? I'm seeing a ton of openings for jobs that were posted in September and December
I wonder if folks with BGCs completed on Friday are part of a round of acceptances/rejections for the training class filling on June 8th. If so, I'm sure word will come out soon.
How can I speak privately with one of you that has move on already. I wanted to ask a question about referral. If anyone can please connect to me or add me to your friend's list. thank you
----------
I have applied to some regardless of the date, I believe that should be okay. I try to apply to the ones that are closer to the current date just in case.
----------
I just realized that I cannot pm until I have at least 5 posts. I suppose I will ask the question here then.

I don't think you get a rejection letter. you will just get no contact. I only say that because I was contacted with a request for more information and after I input more information I never heard from anyone again. I am still trying.

How soon after you got the call confirming background check was passed did you get the email to set up the phone paperwork part? I got a call Friday saying I passed background and to expect an email this week to set up the phone paperwork. I'm in the graveyard chat June 8th class.
I have a referral and received an acknowledgement of the referal from apple but still haven't heard anything. It's been almost a month.
I have a question for anyone who has started training or is working already..
My class starts June 1st and my cousin is graduating college two days before. I was looking into flying home for 4 days or so right before my training starts.
How far in advance before training do they typically send you the equipment? In the paperwork session it sounded like they said you schedule a day and time for delivery .. Is that true? I don't want this to be a problem plus I'm on the fence about even going home.. I'll email my recruiter if need be, just looking for a ballpark if anyone would be so kind as to share
Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if the length of the cover letter might help/hinder chances of getting a call back? I'm in the process of revamping it (as well as my resume) and applying to yet another AHA AppleCare that recently opened up (16th or 17th in the past week). Still haven't gotten a call from any positions though...
A cover letter should not be a long missive. 3 paragraphs tops. First paragraph introduces yourself and mentions how you found the job. It should immediately go into your relevant job experiences that lead you to AHA ( for example, I worked at a call center/I taught a class/ I studied computer science/ I fix computers... etc.) The second paragraphs should talk about your strengths and why you are a strong candidate for the position. The last paragraph should sum up why you are great for the AHA position. It could mention best way for contact before thanking the recruiter for considering your application.
Of course, there are some decent sites out there on creating a cover letter but this should be good for starters. Remember, you want to be concise. Recruiters go through TONS of applications. They don't have time to read cover letters that rival the length of War and Peace. If you do, you run the risk of getting passed over quickly as the recruiter moves on to the next application.
I got the email the same day. You should call them because I think the paperwork has to be back by May 26 or so for the June 8 class.
Just had my first phone interview
Crazy excited to have gotten my first phone interview yesterday. It was so casual that I thought it was a call to set up the first interview and didn't realize that it was an interview at all until I hung up the phone.
I was given a second interview time for this coming Monday to be done via FaceTime. I'm a little nervous... I've searched out some questions on these threads to prepare myself for scenarios and other questions that will be asked. It's a relief to hear that it should be a fairly easy interview... but I'm still nervous.
I submitted my first application for the AHA two years ago. A year went by and I heard nothing. I finally asked someone what I could do to get noticed and was told to apply to as many AHA positions as possible, regardless of what state they were posted for. So I did... and two weeks later (or three?) I got the call.
I do have some questions:
1. What model of iMacs are they providing for AHA employees?
2. My start date will be in July - if I get hired. Does this mean I will have training before July or that my training will start in July, also?
3. I would really like to test my FaceTime before the Monday morning interview. I know they used to have a 888-FaceTime phone number... I don't have anyone in my contacts list to try it with otherwise.
4. I filled out an application for both phone AHA and chat AHA. Due to my disability - hard of hearing, would it be appropriate to ask the interviewer if I would be better suited for the Chat position, or should I go with the position that they called me on? I don't want to risk losing the job because of something dumb I said...
Super excited!
