Did they email you or call you yesterday? I still haven't heard back. I had my first interview on Tuesday and I was told like you, that I should hear something by Friday.
Got a tip for us?

Tough break, pal - sorry to hear. Perhaps you might give it some time before reapplying the next. The only post I've seen detailing a successful reapply was from someone who waited a period of six months. That person got the gig, according to her post, anyway. Maybe a 90 day wait would do it, and in that time frame, of course, you will have ample time to prepare in every regard.
Meanwhile, there are other alternatives - none as good as this job in terms of pay/benefits etc, but all you need to do is a good search for telecommuting opportunities.
Hang in there! Something will break for you, I'm sure.
This was explained during my second interview. The interviewer stated that the shift given to us was permanent until 90 days. At that time we were allowed to participate in the shift bid in order to change shift/schedule and I assume that would include what days of week you work too.
Hope that helps some.
My interviewer also said 90 days buy I have heard that it actually takes 6 months on this thread. Can anyone that has done shift bids comment on my question? Thanks again!
Thanks for the clarification! Can you please comment on the actual process and if you request days off and/or time of day? I would to give you (SCIONTX) a special shout out along with DirtyHobo and AngryGerbil for all your great contributions to this thread!

When it's time to bid on shifts you receive a list of available shifts for different days and times (could be as many as 20-30 choices. You simply rank them in the order of preference (1-20 for example). It's an online process. You don't actually indicate your preference for days or times somewhere. You bid on what's available.
Omg we are going to be in the same class we can become friends
Just got my offer email and scheduled my paperwork session.
I'm not AG, but I work for a vendor doing iOS, and it really varies. Start at 6am central, might not get a call until 6:45. Works its way down to 2-5 minutes at noon, no time at all from 3-7, then it slowly works its way up to ten minutes towards 11pm. Day of the week matters too. Keep a book/Sudoku/homework handy. Definitely. But don't count on using them. Turn based iPad games are my lifeline to sanity, personally.
Then they have malware that redirects...
I had one caller who asked me how to spell google.
I emailed my supervisor, and informed him I was going to take an extra half hour of lunch after that call, and please don't monitor my calls afterwards, because I'm going to be tipsy when I come back.
If it doesn't say that anywhere, you're probably okay. But I wouldn't bring it up. If they can't do math, that isn't your fault. Just keep your head down about your age.

iPad with the NY Times crossword is the way I kill time
Not so much malware redirects as just getting them to understand appleid"dot"apple"dot"com... it's a communication issue. Many try to put in appleid@apple.com.

How long did it take you to get your offer letter?
