I applied to each and every posting in my area every time one came up! I've been here a month now and it is more amazing that I even dreamed!
Hello chippie, can you tell me what the training hours were like? I am thinking about applying to a position but currently work full time. It would be a shame to quit a good job to start training only not to get through it for what ever reason. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I did get my offer call about 24 hours after my interview. I may get a lot of flack for this but I declined the offer. Had I got the offer at a different time in my life I would have definitely taken it. But with a young son at home, I just couldn't give up my holidays and nights to be taking phone calls. Best of luck to all of you who have applied or who have gotten the position!
Just curious, how did u know you would be giving up ur nights and hoildays?? I could have being day shift and maybe didnt have to work the hoilday. Not all will work every hoilday.

My BGC completed yesterday but I have yet to hear from anyone. Can anyone speak to the length of time it takes for them to get back in touch with you after your background check is complete?

Kindly,
AQHA

My boyfriend got the job! Previously mentioned and he will be starting in the Sept 14 class! Anyone else in that class and have any info on when the paperwork should be here? Hopefully soon since he has to get it back by the 2nd! Any 14thers in the class look for a guy named Shaun Minyard! He's so jazzed!

I'm starting on 9/14 as well! I too need to have my paperwork notarized and returned for 9/2.

Haven't seen anything on it yet. I'm signed up for Fed Ex & UPS Delivery Manager so I'm informed of packages coming to my address and can sign for them electronically.

I'm sure the email will come soon regarding the paperwork.

No! I need to get a desk still! It will go in our bedroom so I can close off my husband and pets. I cannot wait to start though. I am nervous, but ready to learn new things and be able to help people!

So we will get an email telling us about the paperwork? I just received my call yesterday and I'm getting nervous about the 9/2 deadline. I hope the paperwork comes soon :(

Yes according to previous posts here, you get an email to inform you it will be delivered the next day. I'm excited to receive it as well.

We emailed his recruiter today and our plan is to get to an Apple Store immediately as we receive the papers. Its a little nerve-wracking for both of us. He really wants this! All you guys are such troopers! This whole threads been a big big help!

My Recruiter told me who my paperwork coordinater is so I sent an email to that person regarding an expected ETA. I know a couple of people who are Notaries so it shouldn't be a problem turning the I9 around quickly.

U can also go to the ups store and after they fill them out, take pics with ur phone and email them asap. After they email you ur shipping label, hurry up and head to Fedex! Good luck and keep me posted...

Do you know what's required at this stage? I was under the impression it's just the I9 now and then a paperwork call is scheduled to go over everything else? Just want to be prepared seeing as there is not much time to turn it around. Thanks!

I work at a financial institution and the Notary Cost is way less expensive than UPS; but a more feasible option is to get it taken care of at an Apple Store since my job is only open 9-5

Hey everyone, I am on day 4 of training and must say that this is an awesome company to be a part of. Also want to give a heads up to everyone that has their start date to be careful of the info that you provide on here. This forum is being seen.

Can't wait until everyone starts! You're going to love it.

P.S. A lot of the questions that are being asked have been answered already throughout this forum. Just scroll back. Honestly, I think that the anticipation that everyone is feeling is a right of passage. I had to go through it so now it's your turn lol.
