The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

Mostly behavioural questions, they will repeat the question but not rephrase it. For sales position you will start as a seasonal employee then re apply for permanent position. Very few permanent positions open for each seasonal intake, around 10% chance of offer.Candidate-reported process
Very smooth overall! It was just kind of a long process. I had 5 rounds and then got a call saying I didn’t get the job. The next day they told me I actually did. So please don’t give up!Candidate-reported process
3 group video interviews with only 2 to 3 questions in each. Apple is really looking for someone who can describe their answers using the STAR method. After 2 group interviews, the last interview is in person with a store manager.Candidate-reported process
