Timeline
Seems as though everyone else posted a timeline and I forgot to post one.
July 15 - Applied with a new Apple ID since I couldn't get my original one to work.
July 24 - Got antsy and decided to apply again but with my exisiting Apple ID and to every nearby state and city.
July 24 - 3 Hours later received an email with a questionnaire and replied back 3 hours later.
July 25 - Received call randomly from a lady at Apple (the recruiter referred to her as the "sourcer") in the afternoon and she just confirmed the information with me that was sent in the email from the previous day. I answered all questions and she threw me for a loop when she asked what was an operating system. I know enough to get around a computer and troubleshoot my own stuff but not a ton. So I took a wild guess and she told me it was correct but to make sure I'm confident in my answers with the recruiters in my interviews. So she told me that she would set up an interview for me with the recruiter for the next day and it would be via Facetime. And this was my first time using Facetime. lol
July 26 - Interviewed with recruiter and it was very short. about 15 mins. ked a couple simple troubleshooting questions and that was it. She passed me on to the next step and told me I would get an email in the next 24 hours to complete the official application and set up another interview.
July 26 - 3 hours later received an email for the application and interview. Filled that out and set up interview for August 2.
August 2 - Completed my interview with a team lead. Very laid back and informal. Lasted about 20-25 minutes. I posted a while back about the types of questions he asked, etc. He said that he would send out his recommnedations abck to the recruiter and i should hear something in about a week or so.
August 2 - 50 minutes later i received HireRight Email. Completed that and sent it to them.
August 3- Received email from HireRight about missing information. Sent in all necessary documentation. Received almost immediate confirmation of receipt of that.
August 9 - After sending an email about progress, HireRight informed me that they already verified everything.
August 16 - Received call from recruiter offering me the job. (I did not receive $15/hour but not less either). I was told that I would be receiving an offer email and i would need to respond to trigger them to send my paperwork and also that email would allow me to set up a paperwork session.
August 20 - Received offer email and accepted. (Offer letter said more than what she told me).
August 20 - 10 minutes later received email for new hire paperwork session. scheduled that.
August 22 - New Hire Paperwork Session. Went to Apple store 3 hours later to verify I-9. Unsuccessful due to manager not filling out I-9 correctly. Went to another Apple store to verify I-9 and submitted it at 6pm.
August 23 - Called to check that I-9 was correct and received. Soon after, received email with fedex label to mail the forms back in. Dropped those that afternoon.
August 29 - Received welcome email from Apple with a link to a page that gives more detailed information about basics, more stuff that was already covered in the paperwork packet, and a few other links.
Now just waiting the email about my equipment. Training begins Sept 10 and I've cleared my schedule to make sure I can focus on it when the time comes.
----------
Yes, we will get the coveted Apple employee email address (at least it's coveted where I work haha) and I believe someone posted on here that the percentage at another cell company was around 21%. That's around what I'm getting with the place I work now with Verizon so it honestly wouldn't surprise me if it's roughly around that amount.
yep that's what I was getting from my old job and the guy at my wireless provider was saying we get about the same for Apple but possibly better discounts in terms of apple accessories.
And I look forward to receiving my coveted apple email addy. lol
