Oh my, oh my, oh my... Wow! That's was the best interview experience I've ever had! Every answer came so naturally to me - the role play was absolutely fun. I'm told it might take two weeks to get a response, however I'm ok to wait with the positive vibes I'm getting... I'm reserving the black apple icon until it's official, but... ok... I'll stop rambling!!
----------
OK - so I lied... I just checked my email to see if there was an update on the job offer... but still!!

I have a feeling I know why, and I bet you do too-I had a similar situation
Did they at least email you after the 3rd interview with an answer?
everything happens for a reason and the reason I am thinking of makes me think it is better off we didn't get any further - a blessing in disguise as they say
I had a first interview last fall, and that was actually one of the first things they mentioned was the hourly wage and asked if that was workable for me. Like someone else said, I'm sure they just don't want to waste their efforts on someone who can't work for what they're offering.
I just landed the job at Xerox.. (my story is on page 109 or around that)
The company seems AWESOME, every day my recruiter is either calling me or emailing me to let me know what is happening in the process. I just completed my drug test recently, and about 3 hours later I received my employee login info (I already did the New Hire paperwork). Really excited! If any of you want to get together to help each other out let me know, we can have a little work chat! haha.

Def go through Xerox as an alternative (they pay more). Hopefully all goes well! They seem like a great company and are really showing that through their actions (see above post). Don't worry! The right opportunity will come along

Did you mean they pay more than Kelly? Is it on par with Apple, then?
I applied for the Apple Home Adviser position on April 3rd. Heard back with a phone call on May 21st.
Phone call lasted about 15 minutes, was told full time and wage. Had a couple of questions such as why Apple, what work experience applies to this position, why I'm leaving my current job and how would I handle working from home. Went over the details of the job again and scheduled a Facetime/Skype interview for May 28th. It happens in about an hour. She also sent an email with directions to fill out more information on my online application (which wasn't there before) and a video to watch prior to the interview.
Will update after.
EDIT:
Interview lasted about 30 minutes. Most questions were similar to original phone call, going over details of the position, asking about work history and reasons for leaving. Unique questions included:
What was your favorite position in your work history?
What complications do you face at your current/last job?
What do you think about Apple customer support?
What is good customer service to you?
What would you do if you had to work within 3 minutes and your internet was down?
Name 5 things to check if Wifi is not working on someones iPhone
For the role play, there was only one question. It started with Ring-Ring and I had to go through helping a customer pair their Bluetooth headphones to their iPhone.
Only bit I messed up on was they said at the beginning they received the headphones for their birthday and I didn't wish them a happy birthday or inquire about it.
Still ,the interview went well, I got to ask my questions at the end, and was told I was being put into the third interview (a Facetime/Skype interview with my future Team Manager).
I should expect and email with instructions to fill out and schedule a time for the next interview.
EDIT2: On May 29th I received the email to schedule for a third interview. Schedule is set for a week out at 5PM. Will update when more information is available.
EDIT3: June 6th, I just finished my third interview. It started out cool with asking some customer experiences and how they were overcome and how you adapted to situations outside your norm. Unfortunately I think I bombed the role play. First situation about a guy whose new iPhone won't make calls I couldn't bring to a resolution. After all my troubleshooting and none of it worked I was starting to head the route of take it to the Apple Store when the interviewer cut me off.
Second role play went without a hitch and no issues cropped up whatsoever. I feel they were just done with the role play and wanted it to end.
Overall the interview ended 20 minutes early and I was told my recruiter would get back to me in 2-3 weeks with if I would be moved forward. I'm not expecting a lot. Will update with further information when I receive it.
EDIT4: I cannot read people apparently as I received my job offer via phone on June 11th. They asked some clarifying details such as my address and if I was still interested and told me to expect an email from HireRight to fill out a background check consent form. The email arrived June 12th and is now in processing. I will report back with more information later, but so far I am super excited.

Just finished my 3rd interview
I just finished my 3rd interview and it went well. Seems like my interviewer liked me and we chatted and laughed a bit. She was really nice. But I could not read her to know whether I got the job or not. I asked her how long it takes to hear back and would it be an email or a phone call. She said my recruiter would be in touch and it could take up to 2 weeks and if I don't hear anything by then, then to contact my recruiter. So we will see...I just really hope I get an offer!

Working for Apple will be my highest paying job I've ever had and probably the first one in about 7 years that hasn't drug tested me. I'm glad to not have to go spend a day in a minute-clinic but I also used to get some strange stupid satisfaction from my clean tests lol.
I'm not!!! Lol! I'm stalking the hire right website like a mad woman. I have done the chat and also called. Yes. They've been very informative. Mine was submitted on 5/20. I am at 89% and the only thing they are waiting
On is my criminal record check from 1 county. There's nothing there but they haven't responded. I contacted the Superior Court Clerk who says she hasn't received anything. Hire Right says they did receive it. I asked what happens if they just don't respond? She said eventually another request will be sent out. Eventually??? I will be insane by then. There is so much waiting in all of the processes.
