They had internal hiring for the maps position..however..after the initial email about it, we never heard anything else about it.
The next off the street training class is in January from what I heard.
Got a tip for us?

Don't discount yourself too soon. I interviewed on either a Wed or Thrus and didn't get my BGC email until the following Monday. It's still possible!
Thanks for this! I went through the 3 interviews and then in September was told if I still wanted it the class would be in January. Radio silence since then so it hasn't felt very secure.
Oh well I know you're stressed then... What date and dept did you interview for?You're stressed?
My last interview was LAST Monday

Well, I applied for the college program. They didn't specify a department yet, and they said our class starts between Jan. 25th-27th.
I an able to support myself on it but I make more than that working part-time. It's not the greatest but when we get bumped up to full-time it's awesome. And it's a corporate job not a retail. That's why the store won't offer it
After your interview did you get the bcg email or are you still waiting for that too?
How my process went...
Timeline:
-Applied at the end of August like the 28/29th
-Sept 26 got an email saying that they needed my resume (which i thought I posted when i first did my application)
- I got an email Oct 30 asking to set up an interview.
-Interview nov 4th
-Second interview nov 7th
-I finally heard back yesterday nov 18 saying they want to move on with the background check and contingent upon that we will move forward with the next steps getting me set up.
Tips:
-Based upon that timeline don't worry if they don't get back to you in a week or two. It took me 3 months and I still won't officially start in january.
-dont worry yourself on making sure you know to many tech questions..I really feel like they want people who are at good a customer service and are willing to learn..
-Use this forum like the bible and other forums as far as interview questions and experiences with the process.
-Email the recruiters if you have any question (who ever sent the interview sign up email) they actually answer. (you're suppose to attend a virtual interview and on the application i entered I didn't because at that time filling it out I didn't. So i emailed the recruiter about it and they got back to me with in 1 hour maybe).
Here are some questions i got off of this website actually and i promise you that these are the question you won't get asked all of them maybe 3 or 4 but these are it!

13). What is a hard drive?
14). How do you delete, move and create a group with an app on your iPhone?
