Just wanted you guys to know Apple is the best company I have ever worked for!!! It is all i expected and more!!! I thought the guy was crazy who said he was sad when the weekend came after first week of training, but I felt the exact same way. The employees and training and all make you feel so amazing.
So if you're going crazy waiting on the next phase or call... Just know it's all worth it

Hi all. I wrote here about a month ago. I live in Australia and applied for the position. Still haven't heard a thing, but did apply for another position for online store customer support from home. Here's hoping.
So far I see there are a few of us who start on Aug 24th. Im super excited to start. Good look to everyone else either in the interviewing phase or waiting on backgrounds to clear!!
Also concerning the bgc , don't stress , if you made it that far , they want you . they wouldn't waste money looking through Your bg. And don t worry about an email or this whole meets company standards thing, I didn't receive an e mail from hirerite, i looked myself, and it said it was completed than I got my call
Good luck
Good luck

Can someone please refresh my memory on how long the bgc process usually takes? I submitted the info for mine last Friday. On Tuesday, the status changed to Complete, but it still doesn't say Meets Company Standards and I haven't gotten an email saying it's been completed.
Also, for anyone who's gotten the official offer call - did you get it at least two weeks before your start date? My start date will be 8/31 and it's really important for me to give at least a two week notice to my current employer. It's a great job and I only plan to leave because it's freaking Apple!

I sent an email to my recruiter about the other job offer to see if it would interfere with getting a job with Apple. Waiting for response. Thanks you so very much for the replies. I don't want to mess up a chance working for Apple because I took another job contracted to Apple. Anyone else know anything about this please let me know.
Anyone here starting NEO on Aug 3rd?
Also anyone been in the training program long enough to give me some insight?

They don't look at credit at all even if there is some sort of judgement showing within your court records. They only care about criminal incidents.
Congrats on getting the offer call!
Thank you, now just waiting on the background check which have no criminal incidents....good way to start my weekend getting that callThey don't look at credit at all even if there is some sort of judgement showing within your court records. They only care about criminal incidents.
Congrats on getting the offer call!
I have been waiting 2 weeks since i completed finally emailed the recruiter and she sc aid she is just waiting for the green light. Its frustrating but will be worth it.
When will your 3rd interview be? And when did they say you will start? My 3rd interview is this coming up Wednesday, and they said training will start in Sept.
I'm so excited to start with Apple on August 17th! I'm doing the at home advisor position. The interviews were a lot more laid back, than I thought they'd be. Once I got the job, I decided to not go to college, only because Apple is a place you'd retire from. It's not a job to help you get through school, unless your major is going to help you move up with the company. My second and third interviews were kinda fun; they're going to role play situations to see what you know and if you're asking the right questions. My third interview I only did one of the role playings because she was more interested in me, since I had made it so far. It's a great opportunity to work with this company, so I wouldn't even second guess accepting the job. It's a long process, but it'll all be worth it in the end. I applied numerous times in one day and got called a day later. My recruiter kept me in the loop on what was going on. They'll send you a background check and don't lie, because they DO call previous employers to see if you worked there and how long, and how much you made, so it's just easier to be honest than have them catch you in a lie and put the job at jeopardy.
on the background check they ask you if the company is still in business, so they have other ways to find out your employment information
Do they send a email for you to start background check? I got offer yesterday and that's all I know.
yeah the background check goes through HireRight.. something along those lines. I've read through some of the comments and some people have said that on the background check it says "Meets company standards" I just got a call from my recruiter that everything came back good. It can take up to a week for them to send you the email for it so don't panic.

This is all a long process. If you don't hear anything right away don't give up hope. Apple hires world wide so they get a ton of applications daily. Make yourself standout and apply multiple times, which shows interest in the company. ALWAYS be empathetic; that's key. They're always impressed when you show empathy towards the customers. Apple will teach you everything they want you to know. Do your research. After the interview process and the paperwork is over you can just sit back and wait for your start date. You'll get your equipment a day or 2 before your start date so make sure you have everything ready; like your chair, the desk, the internet, etc. make sure it fits the requirements that Apple has given you. All that information will be in the paperwork packet that they send you via FedEx.
Got my "Ah, Paperwork" e-mail Wednesday and my Welcome to Apple folder Thursday! I don't think I could be more excited. Both confirmed that I will be Graveyard Chat support, and I'm starting Aug 17th.
Congrats Apples <3
I'm in the August 17th class too!
