So, has anyone successfully moved to the third interview after being told "we will notify you in 3-5 days if you're selected to move to the Team Manager interview?

What part of the interview process are you up to?

Just finished the second interview yesterday. I was told I'd know in 3-5 days if I was selected for the third interview. Very discouraging. I saw some people said they were told the same thing but they haven't said if they actually got to the third interview

I saw that also. I was told at the end of the 2nd interview that I was being moved up to the next level. I am crossing my fingers for you!

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.

How long did it take to complete your BGC?

I'm in the April 28 class!
Bgc takes about five days depending on how easy it is to verify stuff

I just finished all the paperwork and fedex overnight it all. Got a response saying I am all good, now I just have to sit back and wait till class on the 21st. The process of getting to this point was actually really fast and easy, plus I worked for Apple maybe 5 years ago as a expert. I applied in Feb, March was just interviews, BGC and paperwork. It is much easier to take your paperwork to a Apple Store, its a breeze and you can get it done in one day.

Maybe I am just overreacting about it all

My BGC experiencing was horrible. Before getting hired by Apple, I was working for mostly contract jobs, and verifying them was a nightmare. They wanted W2's and all this stuff and I had to call past jobs and ask and get all the info. It took so long that I missed the March 31 class.

Just be patient and make sure everything is filled out correctly. If they need extra stuff just give it to them and stay on it and call Hireright everyday asking the status of the BGC.

I was originally March 17, taking forever to verify a specific job delayed it big time

Timeline:
APPLIED MARCH 20
PHONE INTERVIEW MARCH 20
2ND INTERVIEW VIA SKYPE MARCH 27
THANKS FOR PLAYING E-MAIL APRIL 1ST :(


My friend from high school informed me on the 20th of march that they had positions available for the AAA, I filled out the app and was contacted a few hours later on the phone. I was immediately interviewed and made it through to the next round. I was told my next interview would be through skype the following week. I had the the interview and thought it went great, but got the thanks for playing e-mail yesterday smh.I was wondering if I could just re-apply right now or would I have to wait? and my friend is going through training and wanted to refer me via the friends and family the internal site. Thanks!

at the end of the second interview they usually say they are recommending you to a hiring manager, and you get an email within 24 hours
i would call and get an update

I sent a thank you email within 24 hours of my interview. If I dont hear anything tomorrow, I might send a followup. I don't want to annoy my recruiter.
