I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
I applied in late August of 2012. They got back to me about a week or so later, with a brief phone interview. That was followed by two video interviews, via Skype about a week apart. Both of them were very professional, and the people I dealt with were very pleasant, and enthusiastic. I was hired, and started Oct. 1st
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There are two interviews. One is about your technical knowledge, the other is about your life experience, and how it would apply to working at Apple. Don't be put off by the second interview, and don't treat it as a "formality". This interview will weigh as much as the technical one. They hire "people persons" in other words, customer friendly, enthusiastic folks who want to help people. Do not come across as a rigid corporate type, Apple is not a place for rigid corporate types.
asked general questions about how you would deal with customers in various scenarios, positive and negative. and then do an example call with the interviewer from start to finish, then various personal questions
Asked about prior work, current schedule, knowledge regarding subject matter. I didn't get into any informational interview questions until the third interview. The first two interviews were practically all formal greetings and making sure there aren't schedule or schooling conflicts.
