What time of day did each of you receive the email to schedule an interview?
I am currently awaiting one right now (that's if I get one) LOL
I doubt it and my guess is that once you accept the position your fate is sealed
Okay, AG, I've heard these "shifts" mentioned a couple of times now. Are there pre-assigned hours that you can supposedly bid for? If so, how are the hours broken up? (Like, 8a-12n; 9a-1p; etc.) Is it safe to share that info?
P.S. Are you on shift right now?
Are you waiting for the initial email or the 3rd interview email? And typically they like to send emails late in the day. I receivedy emails after 7pm EST. but there is no set time they do things.
Initial email. I submitted my questionnaire on Friday at 11am, and I'm not awaiting an email to set an interview. It seems some people get the interview emails early in the morning so that's why I was wondering?
Since you said you got yours in the evening, I guess I can still get it today!
How many days did it take for you to get the initial email after the questionnaire?

Ill start by saying I'm in the 2nd process of applying. Didnt make it the first time.
That being said I received the questionnaire email late evening on a Sunday. I replied Monday morning and received a call from a recruiter that day late afternoon who then scheduled my 2nd interview.
Congrats!!!! I am glad you made it this time around
I just hope I hear something soon about an interview! It seems a lot of people have gotten the initial interviews quite quickly. I'm assuming they have gotten busier recently since the deadline to apply is approaching...Who knows!

Oh sorry. Meant I have reapplied for the 2nd time. Have not heard back yet!
Don't sweat it. Your still early on im sure they will call.
Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it!
and since you have had a second interview, I am sure you will get hired!

I'm not working now but was earlier. You don't get to do a shift bid until you have 6 months in. Your first shift out of training is assigned by your team manager and most new trainees end up on later shifts. Shifts can be any 4 hour period beginning at 7 AM CST and going through 11 PM CST. Weekends are always 8 hour shifts.
If you're full time.. I'm not sure how they're scheduled.
Any advice for the FaceTime interview?
Hey guys, I applied and got the quick phone interview soon after. They said I sounded good and scheduled a 2nd FaceTime interview for this week. I'm currently browsing this huge thread for anything that will help me but in case I miss something does anyone have any advice for the FaceTime interview? How can I prepare? What should I wear? Thanks

I applied over a month ago through Jobs at Apple on the Apple website. After I applied I answered a questionnaire that was on the website. That's all I do right?
I keep reading that people received a questionnaire through email. Am I waiting on that or just waiting for either a phone call or email to schedule an interview?

Hello Everyone
I'm going to be joining you all for training on 3/25... I already posses in depth knowledge of both Mac OS X/ iOS software and hardware, I can disassemble an iPhone 4/4S and reassemble it in under 15 minutes. I am an IT major, and I have working knowledge of iOS Application development, so I'm pretty skilled in all lines of Apple products, keep that in mind.
Applied February 12th
1st Call Back February 13th, call lasted 2 minutes, scheduled interview for 2/14
2/14/13-Second Interview lasted all of 5 minutes
Third Interview Scheduled for Noon on 2/18, done via Skype lasted all of 10 minutes
Received HireRight email within 15 minutes, and it was completed the very day
Had to email Apple HR directly with some documentation, but they approved it directly.
2/19/13 received call for offer, wanted to pay me $15.50/hour , and I respectively declined... They said they would be in touch...
2/20/13 called offering 17.50/hour, I asked if they could do better...
2/21 called offering $19.25/hr for part time...
I accepted this time, as I am still in school finishing my degree, but I want to get in the door with Apple.
They explained to me I was offered far more then most initially starting out,but that is because of my prior experience and knowledge of the Mac OS X and iOS line. My dedication to the brand was also evident from my online presence through contributions to Apple based tech blogs, and such.
I have an inside source at Cupertino's HR Department( I got this without their help), but they explained to me that if Apple sees you as a valuable asset to the company, they will will move fast to secure you with the company. Apple processed most of my paperwork within minutes, and HR even responds to my emails and calls on the weekends, if I need them to.
This is just the starting point for me with Apple, eventually though I plan on moving into the Carrier Sales Trainer position, and ultimately walk the halls of Cupertino myself.

You get emailed a questionnaire before the interviewing process begins. in my case I did not notice I had received mine for over a month though they had sent it the next day because g mail had marked it as spam. If you haven't gotten the questionnaire and you are sure that it didn't get discarded all you can do is wait or reapply.

Congratulations? The hubris, it burns, it burns my eyes.
HR called me directly, they told me not to worry about the questionnaire. They went ahead and moved me directly to the second interview.
----------
Not trying to brag, just stating that if you have previous experience, skills, and knowledge, you can negotiate... You just have to market yourself as such...
I lol'd.

I think most people apply to more than one location now that the 100-mile distance limit has been removed. I, personally, applied to the openings in my state, and each state it touches.
I'm still awaiting my first email to schedule an interview. I applied for a student position though my college

PSSSSSSSSSST.... You can also use a different apple i.d?
This is one of the funniest posts I've seen in this thread. Do you write for The Onion maybe?
