Yet another person who received a reply 1-3 days after answering the questionnaire. This has more worried.
Over 10 days seems way too long compared to everyone elses experience.I was hired out of Texas I believe. A few people on here were previously working for Apple through Kelly. I made my cover letter stand out, not the normal looking blah blah type. It actually twisted the beginning monologue from Star Trek
Can you pm me some advice on your letter cover, websites you used or samples please?

Just remember that they are busy. We have all been pushed back because my original starting day was to be 11/5...then 11/26 and now 12/3. So they are really busy moving people in (and obviously out) the doors. Don't give up faith yet. And always feel free to jazz up the resume a bit more and apply again.
The 100 mile radius does not apply anymore per our trainers.
You can apply from anywhere now.
You speak the truth. I have BOXES here calling my name
My husband might have to hide mine!! hehe

Cisco, I think you really should apply to other locations!

For anyone thinking about cover letters, think about how you can make yourself stand out to Apple.
My cover letter from the point of view of my Macbook Pro.
It was creative and what caught the attention of the recruiters.
Lurked a long time, but....
Hello all.
I have lurked here a long time. I applied directly with Apple and didn't get anywhere, so I went to Kelly and got hired. I have been in Kelly's training for less than a week.
The day before Kelly training started, Apple called me for an interview. The first interviewer said he was moving me onto the next step and I would be contacted to schedule the next interview, so I am waiting patiently for that contact.
As I hadn't started training with Kelly yet, I didn't tell the first interviewer that I was in Kelly's AHA training.
My concern is.... now that I've started the Kelly training, I don't want to give up Kelly and then not get an offer from Apple, but I don't want to screw up any chance I have with Apple by already being with Kelly.
So what do you think about this? Am I just screwed, between a rock and a hard place? Should I tell the next interviewer about Kelly or what?
Thanks for any advice.

Do what you have to do but as I've said a few times in this thread... No way in heck I'd do this job for Kelly's wages, their paltry utility reimbursement and their lack of health care coverage. I've been on the phones for a month (30 days til my $500 Mac discount!) and I'd have to be really, really desperate to do it for $9.75/hr but I've been working in tech for 20 years and would not take any $10 per hour job.
This is a great entry level position but for anyone that's worked in the field for a while, it's a temp income maker at best. Also, I don't see getting more than 20 hours a week (at least in iOS) in the foreseeable future and that's just not enough income for many.... Still better than working for Kelly full time though.

Volt is hiring in Austin pay is a few dollars more than Kelly if anybody lives there that wasn't able to get on with Apple.

I was on several sites. Just google cover letters that get noticed or the best cover letters or unique cover letters. Take pieces from all of them.
Mine had a headline, a statement (Star Trek thing) and a PS line. It used 2 paragraphs that intrigued but didn't give you all the info so it made you want to find out more. It's probably why I had a short phone call/interview before the questionnaire email.
Hi Mel, I would absolutely let Apple know about Kelly. They will find out anyway during the background check, and I'm sure honesty would be a virtue. Good luck!
As a part timer, you are obligated to be able to work anytime between 5:30am and 11:30pm. You work three four hour shifts during the week and you work a full eight hour shift on a weekend day. You have no say so as far as which hours or days starting off, so you just need to be available in those parameters.
That's ok with me, but wondering how far in advance you know what your hours will be for any given week? Or do you find out the day before what your shift will be tomorrow?
You are given a schedule at the end of your training and from what I hear, is set for 90 days. You are given a full and a part time schedule, and if they need you to flex up to full time, the full time schedule would be in effect. Hope this helps!
Man Apple really hangs their part time employees (who aren't college students) out to dry. It will be tough surviving on a 20 hour per week part time income when you have to be available fulltime . That means you won't be able to get another part time job to supplement your income. Whoever described part-time as the trenches wasn't lying lol. Try surviving off $14K per year.
