I don't want to post to much here as I've just been hired, and I heard they frown on employees posting on here. My hiring experience wasn't bad at all. The number one thing I will say for the experience was patience.
I originally applied for the position back in December, and I didn't get my first interview call until February 13. I had two Facetime interviews, one each week after the initial call. After they went through the interviews it took about a week till I got the " You're hired, pending background check". There were a few issues with my background check as one of my former employers didn't have the correct dates and position titles. If I told you who, you'd laugh, cause it would make sense. It was about 2 weeks for the background check and all that till I got the "Welcome to Apple Call".
Everyone I talked to was awesome, friendly and polite. I understand the reason for the process and as I said before it's all about the patience.
Good Luck to everyone who is still waiting

What state or country are you in, if you don't mind. Our employment history, skills, and responsibilities are eerily similar! I worked at a Apple Specialist and Premium Service Provider for the last 5 years until they just closed.
I thought it could be detrimental to my chances, too!
In any case, I'm waiting just like you are!
I have been able to pull up the report and as far as I can tell, there are no discrepancies. Everything looks as good as it can be.
I'm in the same boat. Mine cleared and was submitted to the hiring manager yesterday morning. The suspense may be killing me
15 Days Later
I'm so nervous! It's been 15 days since my interview for the college program and I haven't heard anything. I was in touch with an Apple HR employee who suggested I call or text if I didn't hear anything within two weeks, but I haven't heard back from her, either.

I hope some more of you guys got emails or calls. I hate to add to your anticipation but this is by the far the most awesome job ever!!!
That's great news to be sure! About how long did it take between your background being completed and them calling you afterwards?
This was my first full week live and it went awesome!! I have worked at home for almost 6 years and this was by far the best training I have ever had and they support you through the entire process. I work iTunes Chat Full-Time and don't think I could ask for a better job. The pay and benefits are amazing and love the job so far....
So I had a phone call interview last week and I just had the FaceTime Interview, the recruiter said that they were going to continue doing interviews during the week and that if I am selected I should hear from the team manager sometime next week. Is that a good sign?
Rut roh...you still could be ok...I got mine on Thursday before starting on a Monday but keep me updated on what happens I'll be curious to know lol.
Well I just got the tracking number tonight in my email. It shows they shipped it Monday and delivery was attempted this morning. Now I'm on hold with the # in the email to see what can be done about it. I just hope I have it by Monday or I'm going to look silly :\ Even though I updated my address numerous times with them prior to shipping.
I'm in contingent on a background check! Yay!! I'm elated but nervous that hireright will find some discrepancies. Although I did use them very recently and didn't have a problem.
If everything goes well I will be in the April 20th class.
Good luck to those applying!

All is fixed now after waiting on hold for almost an hour. They are contacting FedEx to reroute the shipment.
I didn't get a paperwork packet. All of my stuff was done remotely.
I haven't posted in awhile I just wanted to say congrats and welcome to everyone who has made it through... Good luck to everyone trying
Any April 6th Group people I'd love to reach out

Very basic questions. My interviewer kind of role played with me and gave me scenarios of:
-brand new iphone dropped on the ground and shattered screen
-can't connect a wireless printer
-don't know what an app is or how to get one
She also asked me if I preferred Windows or Mac, if I own an Apple products and which ones (my whole house is Apple) and if I'm comfortable navigating on a Mac.

I'm through Kelly, which is probably why my stuff was all remotely.
Ya I would say that's why. Well for sure keep in touch and let me know what you think after your first day!
