How long did everyone wait before calling hireright? I just submitted my BC consent yesterday.

I waited a week

 

[Givemeachance]

Had my 3rd interview on 10/4. Submitted background check the same day. I haven't heard anything since. I was told I would be starting 11/5.

Emailed recruiter yesterday. No response

I called Hireright today and my BG check is 100% complete without any problems.

I have a feeling that if I do get hired, I will be bumped to a later class.

GL hopefully they will give me another chance. Got to the hiring manager, OMG I want to talk to him again and go over everything one more time.....

I recently applied (sent first app last week, Oct 8th). I have been applying for other AHA positions as they open up in different cities since I am within the radius to one of the locations.

How long did it take for you all to get the initial e-mail to fill the questionaire? I only have a few years of customer service experience and some tech experience, but I feel like I would do a great job working with Apple.

 

[lshaped210]

You get the job or still waiting on bc? You might have already mentioned it but I'm on my phone in class so I don't feel like scrolling through it all haha.

Sill waiting. BG check submitted on 10/4. I called Hireright today, and they said my BGC is 100% complete.

Emailed recruiter yesterday, and have yet to receive a response.

Now I'm waiting for good news or bad news. It's the waiting part that sucks.

So has anyone had a very brief 2nd interview!?I was way overly prepared (thanks to this forum) but didn't get asked many tough questions. And the questions he did ask i answered without hesitation. There were Maybe 2 tech and 1 background. Nothing customer service oriented which I was hoping for! Then I was told I would hear back within a week after he gets back with the recruiter?! Anyone else with a similar experience!? Is that the kiss of death!?

Mine was about a half hour. Did you receive your Hire Right background login after your third interview?

I've only had my second interview (today) thus far and was just generally surprised it was so quick.

 

[koolaid-drinker]

I got responses from my recuiters but have not called hireright yet.

I am excited to hear about most of us getting CPU class too. A buddy works in iOS and he's been trying to get in to the CPU. He's pissed to hear I might be starting out there.

iPhone 4S and 5

What's so special about the CPU classes?

 

[AngryGerbil]

Our class of part-timers received their full-time schedules.

25% have a full weekend off. 14% are working Saturday and Sunday. The rest work one weekend day.

Ouch! I guess I would be a 14%er. At least I don't have to stay on until 12:30 AM. The one downside to being part time and working full time is that we don't get all the days off during the special holiday shutdown week that full timers get.

Hiring everyone part time and putting them on full time schedules is a win win for Apple but there are a few downsides for the employees.

 

[Stukenbroeker]

I've only had my second interview (today) thus far and was just generally surprised it was so quick.

Mine was just over 20 min, and I thought to be short, but I too was prepared.

I don't want to crush your hopes, and this is just my experience, but at the end of my second interview he explicitly told me he was recommending me and sent me an email immediately following the interview. That email contained a link to the official apple application and a scheduling page for my third interview.

Your process may differ. As we have all learned, you can't quite go off others exactly.

I was told that I was being recommended as well and got the official app and url to sign up for my third interview.

I think i'm going to start playing Wilson Phillips, Hold On track over and over! LOL

 

[Stukenbroeker]

If I get turned down at this point, I'm going to be less than thrilled. I'm going to go power down my plethora of apple paraphernalia in protest of this seemingly endless process.

You're right about the special shutdown days. Noticed in the email that we're shortchanged.

Our manager is looking into it but I really doubt we'll get full time benny's for shutdown week.

No worries, if it's meant to be... I did re read the thread a billion times and I seemed to recall several who were specifically told they were being recommended for a third interview (my first interviewer said the same thing to me!) Bummer!

Another day..........

Another day rolls on by.....

I submitted my bgc 10/4. No rejection yet... still hanging on by a thread 11/5 doesn't look like it will be happening for me. That was the date I was given back at the end of September.

Tried to call Hireright (just now).. they must be slammed! On hold for 30 minutes, and then forced me to leave a voicemail!

What's shutdown week? I was offered full time but paperwork I got today said part time. Im confused

sjbuckeyes, sounds like something my mom would say "you get what you get and you won't throw a fit!"... that sucks though!! maybe there is a mistake?

It seems like you still have plenty of time?! Hoping you hear back soon!!

I know I only have a total of 10 days invested this far but I just want to KNOW!!

Heading out for a run to get my mind off of the wait...

Pertains to employees. Can't be discussed here.

If you were offered full-time I would contact your recruiter and find out what happened. The verbal offer and the written one shouldn't differ.

Are you in CPU or iOS?
