I just finished my final interview!! Ahhh!!! I think I did really well. I answered all of her questions thoroughly and with empathy. It did only last 30 minutes though. Even still, I feel pretty good about it overall.
She didn't use the video part of Skype, just the phone. I had made a study guide, and I was able to refer to it since it wasn't video. She was very nice and charming. At the end I emphasized that I wanted the job, and that I would be willing to learn any technical skills necessary. She said it would be a week before I hear anything.
Estimated start date is now May 20th in CPU (if I get the job)!
I hope I get it!!!

You and I are being considered for the same class. I just completed my last interview yesterday and was told the same thing about it being about a week before I heard anything. Good luck!! Keep us posted

So I was supposed to have my hireright paperwork call today, and I totally missed it because I didn't know it was on central time... I logged into my apple id stuff and tried to reschedule it but it wouldn't let me... I'm super worried that it's going to be a problem...

Call your recruiter ASAP. We are given some leeway, but definitely follow up.
Alright so I called hire right again and they said it should be done by tomorrow.
For those who were hired or received the "thanks for playing email", how long after bgc was completed did you receive feedback?

Send an email to the hiring manager
I thought if you got the bgc email, you basically have the job-- As long as you have a clear background. Is this not true?
I assumed that. I mean i dont want to count my chickens before they hatch but I figured Apple would not want to spend money on you for the bgc if they werent going to hire you. I will just feel better once I know 100% that i will be in the training class.
I did the same thing, but Wednesday and Thursday. I just got my 11 question email yesterday.
i agree....if you get the bgc email your pretty much hired but contingent on your employment verification and criminal history......
I applied for a part time position and have an interview tomorrow. I was informed that Apple is only looking for people that can commit to being fully availability every week for all hours of operation which I can be. I was told your schedule is always written 90 days in advance and that you place bids for the days you would like to be off but nothing is ever guaranteed. I watch my little one three set weekdays a week and was wondering if any of you that are or have been part time At Home Advisors can speak of the odds of me getting these days off? I can make arrangements if I have to work on these days but it would be preferable to be off when ever possible. I understand this is the commitment you have to make however. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
I work part-time (been doing this 6 months). What days you get off is simply luck of the draw. Yes, you can bid for preferred shifts, but it's supposedly based on performance ranking. After you get your shift assignment you can try to swap with someone (using an internal Wiki).
And you are not notified of your schedule 90 days in advance. You get a few weeks notice. If you're required to flex up to full-time hours, you get a few days notice.
Seems like part-timers keep their schedule for 4/5 months, then it's time for another round of bids.

Most def reapply asap...let me know if you Want the thread link to help you prepare....it has all possible interview questions and FAQS from A-Z....
Thanks for info!!! Do you get to bid on your first schedule? I am hoping if I get the job and don't bid for any weekends then I may have a better chance to get these days off. Do you work set days until the schedule changes or different ones regardless? How may hours do you work per shift on average? Thanks one again!!!
When my class came out of training we were handed a schedule. No bids took place. You worked what you were assigned.
Your part-time schedule is 3 weekdays (4 hours each) and one weekend day (8 hours + 1 hour lunch). The full-time hours could be any days, including working Sat and Sun (5 days, 8 hours each + 1 hour lunch).
Thanks for all the great info! My only other question is if the days you work change every week or do they change per schedule. Thanks a million!
