Security, basically. Apple doesn't want you making any statements anywhere about Apple. You can say you work for Apple, but even then, they warn about being very careful about what you state on social networking websites. You even have to get approval if, lets say, you went to your childs school and talked about your job to 3rd Graders for career day.
Yikes. Actually that seems pretty reasonable, considering the amount of personal info you're working with.
I love my team! Please don't misunderstand
I just don't understand why some people who are falling behind in the training spend so much time chatting in the team chats....I only mentioned it so I can warn future employee's how easy it is to spend training socializing with the team and then subsequently falling behind. It's easy to do, esp when the people you work with are so fun and easy going!Congrats!!!!
Interesting though, i was told they were not hiring FT and didn't know when they'd be hiring FT...i'm in the 6/10 class. Took a $3/hr pay cut not to mention the PT position. Their hiring process is very freaky!!!
I love my team! Please don't misunderstand
Thank you for this info im awaiting my BGC and meanwhile searching this thread for useful info on training for this position..

Trust me, im not like a sneaky TM. But im curious to know which team your on. E or B?
^I'm not catching on to what you mean by E or B.
You can say it! But I would be careful in disclosing what you DO at Apple. Be very general, nothing specific. Better to be safe than sorry...

I mean, I do. Yes they are serious about this.. I agree with her, I have it like on instagram and facebook. But i dont talk about my job, like anything confidential.. and you'll come to find out.. Almost everything you do and learn is confid.

First letter of your TM.
PM me...it doesnt give me an option to PM you
Yeah, Just realized that... lol. I guess its cause I just created the account. I have an active account with Macrumors but I dont want to use it anymore for certain reasons.. lol. gimme the first 3 letters of your lastname and ill find you (if you have somewhat of a unique name) lol
Any more info on this? A $3/hr paycut over what you were earlier offered in the process?
Just to be clear on the policies, it is okay to mention that you work for Apple, and what your position is. It's just all about what else you say other than that.
Also keep in mind that once you've stated your position, if you say anything that Apple doesn't like, you're then easier to be narrowed down and identified.
The main thing is that you can't leak any Apple secrets or state opinions on behalf of Apple. As far as the actual Apple Communities (discussions.apple.com), THAT's the only place where, as of right now, they don't want us mentioning that we are employees.

As far as temp agencies, Kelly has always sucked donkey balls. Volt Services is a step up from Kelly and pays more but I'm not sure if Volt still has an Apple AHA contract.
If the only way you can be employed is by working for Kelly, then by all means, do so. But beyond providing a meager paycheck there is absolutely no benefit at all from working for ANY temp agency.
Disclaimer: I have never worked for Kelly but have interviewed with them a few times over the years.
I am most likely on one ya'lls team too. I asked about vacation on day one because they were reviewing the policy, not because I want time out. Just to clarify
I am finding that already my team has been helping each other out and working together. We all seem to be focused on the material.
----------
There are more than 2 teams. There are 2 classes going on simultaneously (from day 1 orientation)
Just to add to the excitement, I got my call today as well. Mine is for the 7/1 class. My timeline was..
4/27 - applied in one location
5/10 - applied to the 2nd location in my state
5/15 - got the initial call to set up first interview
5/17 - 1st interview - told I was being sent straight to final interview
5/22 - Final Interview (got background check email 1 hour later)
5/28 - Background check completed
5/29 - Got the call today at 2:22 PM offering me the position!
Not too bad. From the first call, the entire process took about 2 weeks. I am ridiculously excited as this is a dream come true and will allow me to finally be able to provide for my family again (and catch up on bills before we lose the house)
Good luck to everyone else. Calls will be coming soon I am sure!!!
Congratulations !!! Your timeline and process is reassuring to me too! Thanks for sharing.
