Cool. Good luck! I believe I applied for the generic 'AppleCare' position. I don't recall selecting a preference or other position during the application process. You?
Once you do the background check how long does it take (once the BG check is complete) for them to get back to you?
You too! And I think it was the applecare chat position, if im not mistaken.
Thanks! What sections of the the support KB would you recommend studying to be most successful on the training tests before hand?
So I went to an apple store to get my i9 filled out and the manager emailed them off? I'm guessing, when I called hr records, they told me its not their (apple retail manager) responsibility to submit the i9 and copies. IIRC we were told not to leave store until confirming with HR records that it was received, none the less I was told it was something I could do on my own so I just left the store.
Manager also offered to send off my paperswork via FedEx. But I did not want to leave it up to anyone but myself to confirm that they did get sent off, so I declined. Nice gesture though.
C,Mon April.
----------
The last interview I had said to give them 2 weeks to make decision, came right about a week in. And bgc form came in very shortly after. Not even a day, more like few hours. Bgc took several days but fell on presidents day so can't count that.
I applied in January got called the next day but process has been stretched out a bit. My guess is due to the April start date. Good karma sent yalls way. Havent heard of anyone getting the rejection email. Yet *____*

Congrats on the offer and thanks for the good karma. Applied a week ago today, no call yet
From what i've read in the posts on this thread, customer service is HIGH on Apples priority list. So I am definitely keeping that in mind if they do reach out. If they are busy, maybe thats why the response might be slowed down, especially if they are finishing up hiring for the ios spaces needed for April.
I doubt that if they do call, they will be considering me for the April training, but if I do somehow lol, I am all for getting a group together

I would love to keep in touch with the people starting in April kind of like a circle of support
I don't think there is anyone that visits here that is in the March 16th class...I think maybe one person mentioned they were interviewing for it but that was it.
I couldn't imagine having everything done, all paperwork sent back in, and just having to wait a month. I'd need to be put in a padded room!!

Hey everyone. What an interesting and nerve racking process this has been for me! I learned about this position from a recruiter that gave a little speech before class about the College Advisor program at Apple. He pretty much had everyone interested in the program by the time he finished.
Fast forward a week and I attended a college fair that Apple would be at. The same guy was at the booth and gave me more information about the program and told me to apply. This all was in February. Ill try and be as specific as I can. Anyways, after completing the application and questionnaire, I received an email for transcripts, about a few days later. After sending those in maybe a day or 2 later I received my first phone call interview. It was the general do you see any issues with the time schedule and how would you balance your time. He informed me that I would receive an email for scheduling the main video interview.
My Skype interview was on the 28th of Feb, so about 2 weeks after my initial hearing of this position. I rocked every part of the interview except the last technical portion. It was a question about fixing an internet connection. I gave a very thorough explanation on what it could be but forgot the most simple part of whether it could be the computer port itself. Luckily he didnt just say ok thats all, but helped me get through the problem through small hints. I asked him at the end how I did and he said he couldn't give me any information as Apple didn't allow it. He just said wait for the email, but in a friendly manner. I thought crap, everyone says that is the death sentence. Lo and behold a week later I get a call from a manager offering me the job and a start date of May 18th!
I was ecstatic and am now awaiting the background check. Not sure how long this takes but fingers crossed.
