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?
I have been reviewing this thread for a long time and finally decided to post. I just submitted my BGC on the 31st of March and I will be in the April 28th class!
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
Techie, I heard that about my third interview but I was emailed that evening about making it to that interview. I'll keep my fingers crossed 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.
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
How long did it take to complete your BGC?
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.

It took 1 business day I only had 2 places they had to check so it was a fast ands easy one.
Congrats! If I get hired I'll be in the May 12th class.
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
