So most people know about the hiring seminars that Apple has. There's this big song and dance about how great Apple is and everything. There were around 15 people in my particular group. We watched and listened to presentations. Some of the presenters asked questions like, "What things did we notice or what stood out in the presentation?" or just weird factual questions about when the first mac was sold(1986), when did the first retail store open(2001), when did certain apple products premiere, etc. Then we broke off into panel interviews that did not last very long at all. I interviewed w/ another candidate and two store leaders. One was quite pleasant and the other was definitely not. He didn't seem very pleased with me or the other candidate being interviewed. He seemed incredibly uninterested in what I was saying. He was talking over me when I was trying to explain myself and he lectured me and the other candidate because I guess we didn't do proper research of apple and supposedly "they are hiring for careers, not jobs". He seemed dissatisfied that me and the other candidate did research on product info and customer/employee experiences with Apple. I have no idea what kind of research he expected us to do. Its a retail JOB. With an incredible turnover rate. Career? Please. The 2nd interviewer that I had was one of the rare few that worked his way up to a high position and of course was the more pleasant of the two. He seemed to sympathize and wasn't so overbearing and critical like the other guy. The interview questions were: Why do you want to work at apple?, What kind of research did you do about Apple to prepare for today?, Tell us about a time where you dealt w/ a customer and they had unrealistic expectations of you. Be specific and talk about the outcome., What questions did you have for us? And that was it. Didn't even last an hour. I read a lot of the interview reviews here to see what was up before I went and I was surprised that this seminar was so lacking compared to others. Maybe they are just incredibly lazy recruiters in this particular market. I'd just suggest to talk more when given prompts and don't let stuck up upper level management intimidate you. I let this happen and it just ruined my interview. I guess its true what people have been saying about Apple management.
