If you haven't received the "no thank you" email by now than I wouldn't worry, some people had to wait up to a week to find out. I was lucky and only had to wait 24 hours but its the differences of recruiters and how busy they truly are.

You think? No rejection email today either so it looks like I get to wait more. Hope I get in. I wonder how quick most people got their rejection emails? The last interviewer complimented me and everything so idk. We will see I guess. Thanks for the confidence boost.

ok so I received my offer call contingent on my bgc. they were having an issue verifying one of my previous places of employment. ive called hire right but they say they no longer have the bgc in their possession and to contact apple but when I log into the website it still shows in progress. so my questions is has this happened to anyone else and how long was it before you heard back from a recruiter. thanks for the info in advance
Hire Right told me the same thing, but you dont need to contact Apple, Just give it a couple more days.

Just passed my BGC and am waiting on the manager to email me. I'm supposed to start September 21st I believe.

I've been lurking on here for the past 2 months, so I thought I'd share my application timeline as an example.

I applied July 25th online, and got a call back 3 days later. I had applied earlier in February and never heard anything, so I wasn't really expecting anything. It was a quick 10-15 minute phone call telling me about the position and making sure I still wanted it. Then a few "what if's" and "what's your background" type questions. She then sent me an email with a time for a FaceTime interview with a recruiter and a link to finish my application. It was just a lot of verification.

My FaceTime interview was a week later, and it went great. The guy I talked to had done this job for a while, moved up to Tier 2, and management and now was a recruiter. He said I was above average in almost everything, but he told me to work on my empathy for my 3rd interview, so I felt pretty confident about it. We both hit it off at the start because we're both hockey fans, which helped, but they really want to see your personality, and how you act giving someone instructions, and of course how you show empathy. At the end of the interview he mentioned that this job is a good foot in the door with the company, and that people he started with are now engineers or working other jobs on the Apple campus, so it was really motivating.

My 3rd interview was a little tough. The questions she asked were similar to the prior interview, but more in-depth. She didn't give much feedback, and afterwards I started second guessing everything. I didn't think I did that well since I didn't solve both of the role-playing scenarios, but again they're look for empathy and interaction with customers, not tech-saviness.

It seemed like everyone on here heard back within 48 hours, so after 2 days I figured that was it. I got a call back from my recruiter over a week later with the contingent offer, so don't think if you don't hear back immediately that you're not going to get hired.

So now I'm waiting to hear back, and excited to get started! Any idea how long it'll take?

Anyone else that is starting next Monday... Have you received the email from your management leader yet?

I thought they said we would get those emails on Sunday before?
I received my welcome email from my TM yesterday and it said in the email I should receive iMac package on Friday :)

To the people who have gotten the BGC call, are any of you set for the October class (the one without an official start date)? My 3rd interview was only 48 hours ago, but I'm just wondering if they've even started callbacks for those yet or if I shold for sure expect it to take the two weeks. :)

Mine was for the October class and it's been over 48 hours with no call back from them yet (and no rejection) so they may be waiting on those for now.

Is the official application the "BGC" email? I am waiting on the response after my third interview which was Monday. Also, if they call does the caller I.d. Show Apple or no caller I.d.? I appreciate any advice, thanks!

The application email isn't the BGC email, you won't see that until 3-4 days after your offer by your recruiter. Mine never showed up as Apple on caller ID, I just remembered my recruiters area code. Whoever you had your second interview with is your main recruiter. You should hear anyday about if you got the job or not. I always said if you haven't gotten the rejection email yet than its a really good sign

I hope it's favorable, theTeam Manager stated that he "had exciting news to give to the recruiter." This makes me think it will be positive, but I'm not counting my chickens just yet.

I got my initial offer call from my recruiter about two hours ago! I just have to wait on my background check to go through. I don't have a record and my employment is super verifiable, so I'm not worried. I'm so excited!

Just had my third interview and I think it went really well. The manager said I should be hearing from my recruiter within the next 2 weeks. Also, thanks everyone for all the replies on my last post. The hours are a concern for me but if I can make it work, I DO really want the opportunity.

Any idea if the denial emails are sent before the offer calls start going out? Two days with no word & others in the same training group are starting to get the offer calls. Just nervous, if it doesn't already show..
