Nice to meet you as well!
I haven't gotten anything yet. Perhaps I should check with my management office as they usually get all the packages. Still waiting on the email for the orientation call. I was told I should get the email within 24 to 48 hours. I should probably touch base again to see about that email. The orientation call is the paperwork call, my recruiter just called it that.

Your paperwork will probably come today. Lol, It's a wonderful thing pulling that beautiful packet out!

Waiting for my Third Interview...

So after my first interview I was told by my recruiter that she was moving me forward to my 2nd interview. I had my second interview earlier this week and thought I did great. She didn't say she was moving me forward but she did say I would receive an email with my next steps. (I'm assuming this is to set up my 3rd interview) It's been over 48 hours and I have yet to receive this email. I've contacted my recruiter over 24 hours ago and have yet to receive a response. My first question is how long did it take you all to get the email to set up your third interview? My second question is did you get told you were being moved on in you're 2nd interview or was you told to wait to receive and email with the next steps? and my final question is do you guys think I'm going to receive a sorry but we choose another candidate email? :( I really want this job so any advice would be great.

First of all, good luck! I was told during my second interview that I would be moving on. I received an email within 2 hours telling me to schedule the 3rd interview. I'm sure everyone's experience is different though. You never really know whether you made it or not until they contact you. There are plenty of people in this thread who thought for sure they didn't get it but did and vice versa.

I was not told during my 3rd interview whether or not I had gotten it. I'm curious if anyone at all knew at end of 3rd that they were moving to BCG? Or does everyone have to wait for the recruiters call to know for sure?

Thanks for your response: orangestoapples

Hopefully others will chime in. I'm so stressed and want this job badly. I still haven't had a response from my recruiter or an email to schedule my 3rd interview. It's going on 72 hours now since my 2nd interview....

Good luck to both of you!
I asked at the end of my second interview what the next steps were and if I would be moving on. I also asked for feedback and what I could do the increase my chances of landing the job. Bold question but the recruiter was pleased by my questions and told me I was moving forward with a 3rd interview. I got my email within 2 days.
At the end of the third interview I asked the manager if they had any reservations about my qualifications that could possibly prevent me from getting hired, yet another bold question. I was rewarded with a vague and noncommittal answer which was, "I'm not worried."
Needless to say, I was! I got a call the next week with the offer. Timelines seem to vary and are completely depend upon the recruiters, managers, and teams. Some individuals received BGC emails before the offer call. As hard as it is stay positive. Don't be afraid to touch base with your recruiter. I don't think that anyone has ever been told on the 3rd interview that they were going to be hired. That would be so nice though.

Thank you so much for your post. It's so so hard to remain positive. I contacted my recruiter over 24 hours now and don't have a response. I'm trying to remain positive by telling myself it's a Friday and perhaps they are in meetings. I just think its unusual that I haven't recieved the email to schedule my third interview and its been about 72 hours now since my second interview. I'm literally checking my inbox every hour. It's killing me lol. :eek:

Yea it's really tough. I bit all my nails off in between interviews!
I think you will hear something by either Monday or Tuesday of next week. Hopefully, it will be good news. March is still a month away so they still have time to get back to you. Sadly, it's a long stressful mo the for everyone else, or I should say 2 months. The graveyard chat positions were posted at the end of December!
I'm sorry if you already answered, but did the recruiter tell you to expect an email to schedule a 3rd interview?

This is for the regular AHA position with a start date sometime in April. I wished it was for the graveyard chat but was told it was already filled and that this was the only position they had at this time.

No, she didn't say I would be moving on or being pushed threw like they did in the first interview. Her exact words were. "So for your next steps, you will be receiving an email and you should follow that email to complete your next step." "We will be doing interviews at the end of this week and the beginning of next week." Afterwards I said okay. She told me it was a pleasure speaking to me and that was it. After 48 hours without receiving said email I wrote my recruiter. This has been over 24 hours ago. So I'm kind of at a loss. Should she of said "I'm moving you forward?" or do you think that's kind of what she was getting at when she told me my next steps?

Well, I mean if she was dismissing you as a possible candidate then more likely she would have said something more along the lines of, "Thank you. You should expect an email regarding our decision within several business days". Give the recruiter until Wendnesday of next week. I believe Friday is the day they discuss the candidates they interviewed. There is still hope! However, if they decide to not to hire you, reapply!

Thanks again for your positive post. I'll report back when I hear something. I can see why they offered you the position and I wish you the best. I sincerely hope I get an email or a call back soon, one way or the other. I just find this whole thing so stressful. Has anyone waited a week before to get the email to schedule the third email?

I am so sick to my stomach over this:
Applied: 01/26
1st call: 01/26 (after 3 hours of applying. I applied to every location.)
2nd interview: 01/27
3rd interview: 01/29

Was told at 3rd... "I should hear back probably within a day or two. I wish you good luck, and I hope to see you soon. You will have some paperwork to fill out."

Its been over a week now and I am sick of not having a response!

At Home Advisor interview am I moving on?

I had a first interview with Apple for the At Home Advisor position. By the end of the conversation the recruiter said someone will call me the next day to find out further info. Still waiting for a phone call. I am curious if this is how other first interviews went for people that were moved on to the next step or could this be it?

If you're talking about the kind of screening interview with the recruiter where she asks the basic customer service questions and no real tech support or role play questions... At the end she told me that I would be getting an email from HireVue and how to prepare for the 1st (real) interview. She also went over pay, benefits, hours and training.

My first phone call was the basic customer service questions and info about the job. I noticed that with other people usually by the end of that conversation the recruiter gave them some sort of info on where they stand. She just told me to wait for a phone call and that was it, which was supposed to be today. I was curious if that were a good thing or bad thing.

Speaking from experience of having applied several times before, I'm going to say that it's a good thing she said to expect a call. Each time I didn't move forward I was told to expect "an email in the next two weeks".

Do you think this is bad in my situation? I was told to expect an email after the second interview. Her words was "So for your next steps, you will receive an email and we will be doing interviews at the end of this week and the beginning of next." I assume this email is to schedule my third interview. It has been over 72 hours as of now though. Did it take you that long to get yours or what do you think from your experience?

First, I'm sorry if I made you worry even more. I know how nerve racking this is. From what I know, I think you're good. Make sure to check spam. I would have missed this entire opportunity b/c Gmail decided to put the one Apple email from the recruiter in spam.

I think you're good b/c she didn't give the vague "you'll here something soon" response. Also, I don't think she would have told you about them interviewing this week and next if she weren't interested in moving you forward. Have you thought about calling or sending a followup email?

It's okay, I appreciate you writing back and giving me your thoughts on the matter.. This is so stressful. I've checked spam but thank you for the advice and for trying to ease some of my concern.

I've sent a follow up email approximately 48 hours ago now and have yet to receive a response. I haven't tried calling them yet. Probably wouldn't be able to get a hold of them now though considering its a weekend. How long did it take them to send your third interview schedule email and do you know if they send it on the weekend?

Thank you again for being so positive. This whole experience has been driving me nuts.

I think email works best. I'm pretty sure they don't do anything during the weekends, because I've never been contacted nor received email and they always say "business days", leading me to believe they're probably off on the weekend. Calling is cat and mouse most of the time, you're right about that.

I had my 2nd interview on Friday the 23rd of January and he told me to expect an email within the next few business days to schedule the third interview. I got my 3rd interview email (with the team leader) on 1/26.

Hope that helps!

Stay positive!

Hello all. I've been following this forum since I applied for the job on the 23rd of January. (01/23/2015) Since then I talked to a recruiter on the 5th of February. (02/05/2015) He asked some simple questions like "How would you describe an OS to someone that didn't know?" "Are you a Mac person?" "How long were you at your previous job?' (Best Buy)

At this point I'm just patiently waiting to the best of my ability. I'm hoping my year and a half at Best Buy helps me land the position. He told me if I was hired on my class would start in April. Anyone else in my shoes? :p

What position you apply for? I was told I was moving on over the phone. My last job I was at was only 6 months. However your questions were very different from mine.

Bgc completed this morning and got a call from my recruiter a few hours ago telling me that I meet Apple's standards etc. etc. I'm so happy! That was grueling. I can't believe I made it.

I wish everyone good luck! :-D
