My only question is, when they send you your iMac do they give you an email with your Fedex tracking before you receive it?

I am hoping to get mine next week before Friday.

They told me the date when I'd receive the package, but I didn't get a tracking number. Was told one would be provided if I requested, but I didn't bother.

When they send you your iMac, they wont get you a tracking number unless you ask for it, they give you a three day window. Typically its the second day.

Yeah, my TM told me by the end of the week, and it came on Friday. If you really need to know, just email your TM. They're pretty cool about it.

Why are many of you so excited about the iMac computer? It's a work computer.

Because a new computer (even a work computer) to a computer nerd is like Christmas morning... I'm assuming since we are working for Apple most of us are computer nerds.

Every question they ask has been posted on this thread already just search the thread, plus if you go on the glassdoor website they have interview questions, tips, and salaries.

Hey does anybody know if there's a drug test? Completed the bgc and thought it might be a part of that process but it wasn't so I was wondering if it comes after the offer. I'm gonna pass it, just wanna know how close i am to the END of the hiring process. Also, what forms do they send for you to fedex back, just tax forms?

Thanks guys, in advance, and good luck to all. (And congrats where they are due :)

I've received my offer call and am awaiting my offer email.

A few questions:

1. Will we be given specific information on what type of dedicated phone line and headset I need? If yes, what type of phone line and headset do I need (or does Apple provide the headset), and when will I be given that info by Apple?

2. What is included in the offer packet in the mail?

3. In the event of an uncontrollable power outage, what is the procedure?

4. Is a wireless or wired Apple keyboard included with the iMac shipped?

Thanks in advance.

No drug test. Should they start? ;)

Lol! Can't speak on whether or not they should start. Either way, I'd pass with flying colors I just really wanted to know if the offer call marks the actual END of the wait game. I know we still have to do paperwork and all. But this hiring process is not for the faint of heart!

:) Just getting anxious, that's all. Thanks for the info.

Judging from a lot of questions and answers in this thread I'd say that's a bad assumption. Unless of course your definition of "computer nerd" is someone that is attracted to bright shiny objects.

Start date May 20...

Supervisor, after sitting in on another team's first day, told us to open the boxes and get everything set up, especially the phone stuff. Did not say anything about turning on the computer, but we are supposed to start the day on our personal computers so I'm guessing they'll want everyone to switch on the iMac at the same time. Although I don't know if you can set up the phone system without the iMac on...

My boxes included an iPod touch along with a plethora of 'Welcome to Apple' stuff. Believe we'll have to sign an agreement about the iPod touch and send it back. Not sure why we got it (i.e. a welcome present or a learning device)...

Every team leader could have a different take on opening the boxes, etc., but mine suggested that you would be behind on the first day if you didn't go ahead and set things up.

Does anyone know how strict they are on the set up? Am I allowed to have a second monitor (for my PC) on my desk?

Are you on the iOS class or CPU?

I'm definitely a computer nerd. I can't wait to get the iMac. :) I'm the type of computer nerd that takes takes apart a computer for fun. Of course, the first time I took apart my iBook to replace the hard drive (the cheapest route I can go for now so that I have a Mac for a particular piece of software), I didn't think it was very fun. Apple definitely didn't intend for that laptop to be upgraded by the user except for the RAM. Not being able to touch that pretty new iMac when it arrives except for work purposes is gonna really suck. :(

I agree and congratulations to you!!! I was doing my normal canvass of applications Monday and Wednesday and applied with Kelly thinking I was only submitting a resume when the next thing I know, I receive an email to complete an assessment, not necessarily abnormal, but, then, went straight to a digital phone question/answer session! I have to tell you, I was caught off guard and nervous as could be! ... Hopefully, they take this into account?

Has anyone else been directed through these steps? If so, how long did it take for someone to get back to you ? I'm also confused about the amount of tech vs. customer service experience. I prepared taxes throughout the majority of a marriage and worked temporary services and other odd and end jobs during off season because it was our lifestyle that I took care of his kids and the house. I have been an Executive Sales Administrator for Hard and Software sales and service in the past, I have also managed to meltdown 5 laptops in the last 4 years that has entailed alot of self-diagnosis, etc. Does anyone have a solid idea of what Apple is looking for? I worked for Ashland Chemical for 13 years as well and I have to say, I was proud to represent and be a part of such a wonderful company. They truly cared about their employees and I haven't been able to find such an example or opportunity since, until now. Working for and representing Apple would be amazing and I couldn't be prouder.

Is there someone I could send chocolates to or something ? lol Anyone have addresses ? I am not above bribery lol j/k ... kinda ;)

I applied directly through Apple so I can't speak upon the nervousness of being caught off guard. Hopefully I nail the next 2 interviews! Proper celebrations will occur with massive amounts of booze!:D:D

Good luck to you BTW!;)
