Hey everyone
Just wanted to come by and share a brief summary of my experience thru this process with Apple. I lurked thru this thread and is was a great help thru the process and just want to put forward my thoughts.
So timetable of everything
T 0 days was when I really started applying the second time around updated my resume and made sure everything was up-to-date.
T +8 days got a call from a recruiter and asked the basics and went over the job. Stopped the questions after about 10 minutes and moved me onto the 2nd interview.
T +17 days second facetime interview was a little stressful the recruiter was all business and I stumbled on a couple of unexpected questions. Was a little surprised at the end when he said that I would be moving onto the third interview by the vibe I got from him.
T +22 days Team Manager interview this one was a very relaxed interview for me. The Team Manager was excellent for my back ground had several point I could relate to her own experience. I treated the interview exactly how I would interact with a customer but made sure I was selling myself with the process. No actual role play 2 tech questions and a how would you handle the scenario and a skill you had to learn fast
T +24 days call from the 2nd recruiter with prelim offer and got BGC email
T +29 days Got formal offer start April 21st
The whole process was fun and interesting I have a little experience with Apple I worked with a vendor at one point and took iOS calls so I had a general idea of what they were looking for in the process and was able to adapt pretty quickly. I wish everyone the best of luck thru this process it is a interesting one.
Also I will add this be yourself you want to hit the customer service part of this but be yourself and enjoy the process and try not to be to tight during the process.

I'm not sure exactly when but I do recall her saying that I would start in May.

Thanks for the reply, awesome information! Thanks a million
I felt relaxed up until the interview. I was so nervous. The first role play I bombed it. The interviewer asked how I felt and I said I know where I messed up. So they did another role play and I did great. I asked what was next and they said I would know in 3-5 days if I will be moving on.
Has anyone else have this happen? I thought they tell you at the end if you were moving on.

That is amazing! Congrats
It was my 2nd interview today. I saw where a lot of people were told they were moving on with the next step right after the 2nd. Now I have to wait for the email.I too was nervous. I felt really calm until that interview and I guess, because I need the job badly, I was not as calm as I thought. I also was told I would know by the end of this week or the first part of the next.
Had my 3rd interview yesterday and knew right away that I had bombed the empathy role playing. I was way too nervous and fumbling over my words. Got email today saying they were going with other candidates. Kind of depressing but at least I know what I need to improve on. Anyone know how long you have to wait before you apply again for an AHA position after getting rejected?
So sorry to hear that Morph, I think you can apply again within six months from what I have read on here.
Six months? ouch! Well, at least I know what I did wrong and can work on it. I was just way too nervous. Been out of work too long and not used to virtual interviews. Sounds like it would have been a great job to have.
Im so sorry to hear that Morph. I am worried that I will get the dreaded e-mail. I wish I was told that I was moving on like some people. It really feels discouraging when they tell you that they will let you know in 3-5 days.
does anyone know the ergonomic requirements for the desk?
would like to get it sorted before I start

Thanks! Yeah, I wasn't given the 3-5 days thing. I was told in 2-3 weeks I would get contacted by someone in recruiting. I guess it's too much to hope this is all just a bad April Fools day joke? oh well.
I thought I did decent on the role play, she seemed to like my response. She could tell I was nervous yet excited. She even smiled and was like "aw look at you getting all excited" when I made a big smile when she said she was going to pretend to be a caller. But even though at some moments I felt like we were clicking there were moments I was unsure and was getting mixed vibes. But I wanted to cry when she said I would know in 3 days whether I would go to the final interview. She did say that either way she would contact me... But I know that doesn't mean a no, but it still made me feel like I did horrible. So then I started second guessing myself and critiquing every single move I made. But oh well, now I will just be glued to my phone refreshing my email non stop lol... Oh this is gonna be the longest 3 days, ever!
Third interview was Friday. Thought I had done excellent but I just got the rejection email. I'm pretty devastated right now, I can't lie. I applied to this job in September. I needed this to keep ends meeting and I know I gotta move on. Just haven't found anything remotely comparable to this.
