Are you guys applying for the at home in various state listings or only your home state? I've applied for 2 thus far and get annoyed when filing out the same info twice I feel they should save this information
Got a tip for us?

Apple At-Home Advisor... (Part 2)

I received a call back on the 8th and the recruiter left me a voicemail saying I would be emailed to set up a time to talk. I'm just getting really discouraged because I've yet to hear anything back. I'm not really sure what to do because my contact info is all correct. I didn't really mind for two weeks because I just figured there could be a lot of reasons why I hadn't heard anything but now it seems like a lost cause.
Where do you both live? It might help people figure out how much Apple pays based off geographical location.
Ive applied for every Apple care chat position they have listed, hoping it would better my chances for an interview. For all the repeated questions I had to copy and paste the answers to my notes to make the process a lot faster.
From what I was told they really aren't hiring chat right now and most of the time do it internally, I also was applying for tons of chat and didn't hear anything then finally succumb to phones and got called immediately. Just food for thought. Good luck
patience pays off, now three months into it and I start Monday.

Awesome! Thank you for the tip, which position should I apply for? I've already applied for the iTunes phone team and I'm applying for the Apple care right now.
Well to update whoever follows these posts such as I do. After receiving the final interview, and the offer phone call for the At Home Advisor position, they conducted a background check. I had posted my concern for this since my background was not spotless (nothing major) The background check status changed yesterday with the flu report to say "Meets company standards" needless to say I was totally excited! Today I received the call to congratulate me on being hired with Apple! Thank you all for your posts that gave me the insight I needed to complete this process. I look forward to November 30th for this is my start date!
Sounds like your on the right track. I'd apply to whatever recent position was, no matter the state/city. It makes no difference. I also had luck with going to virtual job fairs online and chatting w/ recruiters

Thank you for your feedback, I'm still working on applying for all the apple care positions I can find.
Fingers crossed I hear back from them soon!!
I'll warn you they reuse previous postings. For example let's say you applied for a position that was initially showing as posted last July and they decide to reuse that and just change the posting date it would then for example show as posted today AND show you as already applied.
To me that means if you weren't selected for that posting previously that you're automatically not looked at again simply because all that's changed was the date.
I could be wrong but I automated a script that applied for every open position a while back because a manager within Apple that I use to work with suggested it and now new postings show me as already applied when in reality I applied for the newest ones half a year ago.
I know of at least ten people I used to work with who started with Apple as a chat rep this year. They do give preference to existing employees however that doesn't mean that's all they hire for those spots. Many people don't want to do chat all day.From what I was told they really aren't hiring chat right now and most of the time do it internally, I also was applying for tons of chat and didn't hear anything then finally succumb to phones and got called immediately.

Where are these sites for virtual job fairs?Sounds like your on the right track. I'd apply to whatever recent position was, no matter the state/city. It makes no difference. I also had luck with going to virtual job fairs online and chatting w/ recruiters
Apple was hiring for chat positions externally this year and then they filled those positions, i have spoken directly with recruiters prior to getting hired and they said what I previously shared, not something I just made up!
Oh man! Well I've already applied for almost every Apple care position :/
I also applied for all the apple care chat positions and iTunes phone team.
I guess I'll just sit back and wait now, thank you for the info!
im in! BGC cleared and i'm in the 11/30 class for agreement admin. now to wait for paperwork..
Well still waiting and hoping that Apple will call me,it's been almost a month since I started applying. Fingers crossed
Got my 2nd interview (first video interview, the atmosphere was actually more relaxed than I imagined) yesterday and the person said she wants me to move on to the next round and will email me the information within a few days...which is a little frustrating since I got the email for the 2nd interview within a few minutes after the 1st interview.
I will be worrying about not getting the email, and then worry about the actually interview if I do get the email.... (was anyone told they will get a 3rd interview and end up not getting one?)
