I talked to my Kelly recruiter today and he said everything on my side is good to go I just have to keep waiting for the staffing people to contact me. Which I take as my background check to come though. He also said that if hired I would be supplied with my own iMac, USB headset, telephone headset and possibly an actual telephone. Which is great because I don't have the money to go out and by my own telephone and headsets. Now I'm just wondering if it would be the 22 inch or 27 inch iMac, This way I know what kind of desk I have to go out and buy because right now I just have a laptop and I use it on my coffee table.
Yes it's the one game I hate! That's not my only worry. My apartment is only 700sq ft. The way it's set up is stupid! There is only ONE phone outlet and it is in the kitchen, then since AHA have to hardwire the iMac and not use it over wifi, I only have cable hook up in the living room, so idk how I'm gonna rearrange my living room to suit the needs. The fact that I have massive wall vents on one side in the living room doesn't help with space much, as I can't put a desk over there, can't put it in front of the window cuz I have a wall a/c unit. Can't put it next to the kitchen, cuz it has an open island and don't wanna risk it getting wet. No matter where I put it, I'm gonna have to get a long phone cord to go from the kitchen to the desk. Like I said before idk what desk to get, I need or that will fit the iMac and all the stuff that comes with it, my ipad, the phone, my laptop. So I need one that will not take up half my living room. I would like to think IF I get the job after a few months, I would of been able to save up some money and move to a bigger place or get a 2 bedroom apartment. My place I'm at now was built in '69 and have not updated anything but the stove, fridge and that's about it lol.
I haven't had an interview or the 11 question email after applying. I have more than enough qualifications so I am not sure why I have not been contacted. I have been applying since 3/27? Guess I will just keep sending in applications?
Sounds like you are in a little bit of a jam. Im sure everything will work out. And as for the Inch of the screen. It will probably be the smaller version. Just becuase its a work computer and you would only need the smaller one. I would base your desk off the 22 inch.
Thanks to everyone and the excellent contributations I started on page 1
Big Thanks to those that have been hired and return
----------
Is there any chance once hired in this position to bid on other at home positions in the company?
Thanks
I've been trying to find that out for 5 months now. From what I've been told so far... you must put in a year before trying to move to another queue or another open position within Apple. There is a possibility they'll ask you to cross train or move to Tier 2 before that year is up but with the turnover as high as it is they probably want most people to stay in their respective queue as long as possible.
Have you tried to apply for a team manager with Apple I do believe I seen that when searching the at home positions
----------
Before I apply is there anyway to tell if I will be chosen for part-time or full-time?
Thanks
This one thing has left a very, very bad taste in my mouth for the whole Apple culture. I'm very open minded in terms of tech, i.e. use the best tool for the task at hand no matter who makes it but after I leave this job (very soon I hope) I never want to see an Apple product again. And I used to be a pretty big fan of OSX.
"Think different" ... good luck with that.
Ok since no one has answered my earlier questions (which I understand why not) can someone at least tell me the next payday and if you are paid weekly or bi weekly.
If you are interested then apply....i applied for pt but was offered full time.....express concern for your desire if contacted...
I can't disagree with AG about iOS, but I do work the CPU queue, and I have nothing but positive things to say.
The CPU queue isn't bad at all. It's not mind numbing at all. I get something different everyday. While most calls are things I can handle easily, that is a good thing, as it keeps my stats up and helps me be a standout on my team and in my queue. If you get CPU, you do need to have some technical knowledge, or your stats will be crap.
As far as opportunities, there seem to be quite a few. A few people from my team are cross training in iOS to be full time mentors on a rotation. I've had people rotate to account security, and I'll be training to be a team manager backfill. I've seen plenty of emails to try a rotation of some kind. I haven't seen too much movement to Tier 2, but at the beginning of my tenure, I saw about 25 people get hired to T2 for iOS. So the possibilities do exist.
I'd be happy to answer any questions that I can about the CPU queue.

I applied for the ITunes position yesterday and just applied for the team manager position today. I heard that the pay for the ITunes position is similar to the other positions in the 14 to 17 dollar range. Is the team manager position salary?
Ok since no one has answered my earlier questions (which I understand why not) can someone at least tell me the next payday and if you are paid weekly or bi weekly.
From what I've found out its biweekly and there is a payday may 10th so every other Friday after that
Thanks for the info, I asked lastnight but no body replied. In Apple lingo.... What is CPU?
----------
Has anybody else that has the position as AHA T1, or going to get the position, heard about a wage? I was told It was 16.80-17.00 an hour. Anybody else? I'm asking cause it seems like alot of people are getting alot less. I went through Apple and not Kelly.
Hey guys!
I'm new here, but thought I would chime into this thread as I applied for the At-Home Advisor position back at the end of March (as a result of campus recruiting). I got an email yesterday morning saying that I was accepted to an interview with a hiring manager, for which I scheduled the interview for tomorrow afternoon. What all would you guys say I should focus on as key points during the interview? So far, I plan on highlighting my ability to empathize with people, my kind and caring personality, my extensive knowledge with technology across all types, my ability to troubleshoot problems for other people, and of course my passion and love for Apple (as well as technology in general).

update on my timeline
Hey guys.
I received my hireright email the other day and sent it in and they ended up asking me for email, name, phone number, and a w2 with proof of start and end date from a really old employer. Problem is that employer is currently out of business. I managed to get all of my old owner/managers contact information and sent it to them. I cannot however get ahold of that w2 because i dont have it on file and would have to wait 5-10 days to get it through the IRS. Should i be concerned about the W2 issue or do you think the contact info should be enough ? i talked to hireright on the phone and they said they would contact him through the information i gave them so it seems like i should be fine right ? Also i havent received my offer call/email yet but I'm hoping it comes today or tomorrow. (the last two days of my "youll get a response in 5 days notice") Did most people who got a hireright email receive a job offer?
Thanks !

How long (on average) do you think that takes from the time your BGC completes? Plus, has anyone here that's being considered for the 5/20 start date gotten an offer call yet? Getting anxious, my BGC is finished and I'm going nuts wanting to know either way...
I'm kind of in the same boat as you. Waiting on my BGC to get done though. My interviewer didn't tell me a start date, but we should be about the same at this point. They may be waiting for my group's background check to complete before they call everyone, so hopefully we should hear something this week.
