Comment down below any other video ideas you guys would like me to film!
How to ace the interview: (Started a seasonal product specialist and then worked as an operations specialist)
Show them you have a life outside of work (hobbies/ passions ect) they like that, they like to hire people who fit their whole creative look. I talked about my love for fitness, my love for painting & photography.
When they ask you your Interview questions, they want a story to be told. Don’t say things like “I always” no. Talk about a time you did something ect, explain the problem, how you handled the situation, your solution and the outcome.
When and if they ask you about a weakness they want to hear what you struggled with and how you solved it out have worked on it. I personally talked about my fitness journey and how that shaped me into the person I am today, how I’m now more organized, more confident out going ect
Ah and when they ask you why apple, don’t just be like “oh I just love the company ect” think about how you normally use an apple product if you have any. Since I do photography I talked about the airdrop system and how I love the eco system apple has that has made me edit and deliver my photos to my clients. Just overall show an general interest in the company at the every least??
Thank you! I'm thinking about applying and this helped me!
Quick question how long does the hiring process take? Because I am just now applying and I was hoping to get a job by the summer.
I have a phone interview tomorrow with Apple. I’m si nervous 😭 Thank you for your video
you’ll do great! good luck!!
how did it go :)
@@iamxya I’m not sure about the phone interview, i haven’t heard from them after after a week. But what I did is, I contacted a recruiter on linkedIn and I expressed my interested to her. She was hiring. I don’t what she did lol but I got an interview with a manager today and now I have a group interview coming up
@@samueladjienang2083 thats soo good!! Usually if you don’t hear anything for a while its a great sign! Means that apple is really considering you the longer they take, but if they message within a couple days; most of the time its not a good sign. But I wish you the best! I hope you get the job!! You got this!
@@samueladjienang2083 awww congratulations! Do you have any updates? I’m currently looking to see if this job is the right fit for me.
Omg! I’m here because of your TikToks but I have been delaying on applying to Apple. But after watching this I think I’m going to give it a try.
How did it go?
Amazing and informative video! Short and too the point! Thank you for also sharing the good and the bad, really puts things into perspective! I’ve always wanted to work at Apple, it’s always been my dream of mine! In late December of 2019 I’ve met this nice couple that goes to my church and the husband works at Apple. I wanted to to ask the gentleman if there’s any advice for applying , but I was too shy. And as 2020 was approaching the world shut down and I lost contact with them, not only that but managing and trying to stay safe. Then around January 2022, the company that i worked for ; Walgreens, fired my coworkers and I basically to get rid of us. I’ve been struggling looking for other jobs and trying to get a fresh start. I then started going back to my church, and started talking with the couple every Sunday . Fast forward to last week, I’ve finally built up the courage to ask the gentleman for any tips on applying to Apple. The gentleman was so nice and took it a step further and said, “oh here, here’s my number, personal email and work email, send me your resume”. I couldn’t believe it, I was so excited and happy, all it took was for me to finally ask. And I feel so happy, through every struggle, feeling of depressed, and bad mental health: that God brought me to this point into my life, where my dream is about to become a reality!!!
that’s such an amazing story!! i’m truly ecstatic for you and i hope you love it as much as i did!
Genius at Apple here! 👋🏽 I totally feel u when u said that you hate being reverse shadowed. I personally hate being reverse shadowed bc it’s a lot of pressure from the peer/leader shadowing you bc you gotta be on point w your work & expectations you’re setting to the customer. It’s all good intentions though, to make sure you’re getting the training you need. Great and informative video! 🤍
hey do you have any advice for getting to genius? i'm currently a pz specialist (just started though) and getting to genius is my dream position!
@@darkacademiavanessa good luck, from what I’ve seen in the apple stores I’ve been to 95% of the geniuses are male
@@SlyCooperRN thanks, it's more like 85% at my store, there are only 2 girl geniuses out of 14 total
@@darkacademiavanessa Be the third! For yourself and the future women that also want to become geniuses!
@@darkacademiavanessa my advice would be get very familiar with the competencies related to your role, have a unique story associated with each one, and share all your wins with leadership! Take a more active role in the bar and be open to handling whatever situation comes your way!
This is really helpful! I just finished core training and I’m really nervous to start actual hands-on training out on the floor. Im lucky to have had core in-person and I really like the atmosphere so far! I hope communication is better here than what you had to deal with, but so far I’m really excited! Thanks!
Hi mate, I am about to go through the core training in 2 days, do you have any tips or let me know what I can expect? Maybe we could exchange socials :)
@@viranweerasinghe3031 Can I ask you how long it takes to get Apple's approval to work with them?
I just finished my core training and I’m also nervous😭 there was so much info especially about phones and carriers like wth
I too got the phone call of acceptance last week :D i’m just waiting on a background check now :) i’m so stoked!
wooh!!
@Shantanu Gupta I started last week :)
I’m also waiting on the background check! It’s been almost a week lol they make you wait so long 😅
Updates?? Do u like it?
@@saintvltnwhat do they check?
im on my last apple interview with the store manager! kind of nervous but my process was kinda fast i got the 1st and 2nd interview within a week.
How did it go? I got background check done friday but not heared anything yet
@@Digitalizedx i haven’t heard back but how much interviews did you have ? and how long did it take for them to contact you back ?
@@Digitalizedx Cheers!! My background check took over 10 days but I got my offer today. Good luck :)
@@isabel9166 hey how long did it take for you to get a response back from your 3rd interview with the store manager?
Does Apple give weekends off ?? Saturday Sunday holiday ??
I too had volunteer experience before my first job! Shoutout to community work!
You’re so helpful and go into detail! Love it! Really appreciate this information, God bless you 🙏🏼
aw thank you!!
I’m currently waiting for the apple locations in New York City to start hiring again and I hope it’s soon! I recently left Best Buy last month & the only good thing about working there was the discounts. Management showed favoritism, a lot of co workers (not all) were toxic, and pay was awful with $16-$18 an hour. It felt like I was in high school.
I actually had a phone interview for apple in September and for anyone looking for a job there, I can give you one good tip! Apple cares about creativity and personality over anything else. I’m really passionate about fashion and the guy on the phone loved how I expressed myself and how I went into full detail about my creativity and personally traits. The conversation went well imo but I got an email 2-3 days later saying that i wasn’t chosen to move on to the next step. It was for a seasonal position so I wasn’t too bummed out. I feel as though I did not make it past the phone interview because I wasn’t too excited and enthusiastic about the role being seasonal, especially since I had a part time job at Best Buy.
Another important thing to mention for people who want to work at apple. Remember that in life not everyone is going to clique to you spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. So with that being said. One manager and recruiter will like you and find you to be the perfect candidate for apple and they’ll give you a chance and hire you. While another manager or recruiter will think the total opposite of you.
Just keep trying and remember to be passionately creative and enthusiastically show off your personality. They care about that the most so that you can engage with and help customers.
Hi ?
Best Buy lol…
@@DreaminBig it’s trash
after passing three interviews with apple, I got a call that i passed the interview but a week or two I got an email asked to be on hold till suitable position available n been 12 month they didn't call back… any suggestion ?
I have my second interview in three days and I’m freaking out because I want to get hired. I’m afraid of not saying the right things and not getting hired. I hope I can do great and get hired.
thank you so much for this video! i ended up getting the job so now i'm rewatching this as someone who is going to work there soon! this video was also helpful for my group interview, i actually joked about getting the free water bottle for the "why apple" question :)
I got the job too! I’m so excited to start working and I’m so interested in seeing how it is to work there
@@emilyprescod3255 ahhhh omg i'm so happy for you! i hope you have an amazing time there!
Hey man, can I ask how is it working at Apple so far?
@@Sayject it is SO much fun! it might just be the store i'm at, but everyone there is super unique and i absolutely love learning about everyone there. learning about the customers is also a joy. i actually just had my last day of training so i'll be on the floor on my own next time i go in!
@@darkacademiavanessa wow that’s great! I love tech and I thought if I ever need a side job other than what I do now it would be at apple! Can I ask if your doing this full time and where are you working exactly? Also how is your pay? Would be great to hear back from you!!
I hear they will randomly scan your office but I don't know what that means? Do they use the webcam on the iMac? If so can't they just see what's on camera or can that camera see more?
thank you so much for this video. you just gave me the push i needed to apply for a job at the store
yay! i'm so glad!!
After a month of waiting finally got an email for a phone interview on Wednesday. Got any tips???
This was a very informative and authentic video I truly approach your time, thank you so much!❤️
aw thank you!!
Did they pay you for the CORE Apple training?
I have a group interview tomorrow and i’m sooo nervous😭 wish me luck!!!
How'd it go?
Can I ask you how long it takes to get Apple's approval to work with them?
Hey. Let me ask you one question: do they offer a lot of hours a week? If it’s only 20 a week I wouldn’t be making enough money. But if I can get 30-35 I’d be happy.
Watching this bc I have the group interview in 2 days and I'm freaking nervous
Can I ask you how long it takes to get Apple's approval to work with them?
Hello! So I put my resume out there for Apple. I didn’t apply specifically for anything stores and then I got an email for a store position here in NYC that I was being invited to a group interview and I did that interview and passed to the next interview which is with the store manager and I was wondering what should I expect? She sound really sweet when I was talking to her on the phone, so that calmed my nerves. Also, what about vaccination? Did they ask you about that?
What type of questions were asked during the interview? if you don't mind me asking.
thanks for the video! i start as a tech specialist in two weeks so this was super helpful
that’s so exciting, congrats!!
If you don’t mind me asking, how is everything so far? I’m looking to get a job at apple too
Everybody lmk how you like it! I’ve been a tech specialist for 3 years!
Hey @grannywife I have a phone interview for that role on Wednesday do you have any tips to share??
@@titoosemobor2051 hey!! so the major thing is to honestly just be yourself! they just want to know that you’re confident and personable because they can train you on the rest. during the group interviews, i tried to make sure that i responded and reacted to the other candidates stories and answers and sometimes refer back to them if given the chance! prepare for like scenario questions too. the one thing i noticed was that people who were like “apple is the most amazing company ever” didn’t move forward. the people who moved on were the people who were confident but friendly, smiled often, and seemed genuinely interested in learning more! if you have any other questions let me know! i was super nervous but it honestly wasn’t that bad
Been looking up jobs and thought of Apple. I’m more of a person that likes working with food and serving customers, but something about Apple makes me wanna be part of retail?
However I do have a neurological disorder, which is motor tics. Basically where I do unwanted movements to my body such as blinking too hard, nodding my head, flexing my muscles and it usually happens when I’m stressed, it’s too hot, and I’m anxious.
The nearest Apple store is like 30 minutes away, but you listing the benefits kinda making me think it’s worth it. If I’m brave enough, I’ll see if I can apply and hopefully they’re willing to accept people with disorders like mine cause if not, welp. :,,)
I hope you did well :D
I don't think they're going to trust a person with tics around EXPENSIVE electronics
How long did it take before they reached out to you for the job offer after the final interview?
Got hired at Apple straight out of college. Just made a short about how I did it!
Mine was quick they were fast I only had one interview and got the job
Congratulations! We are a 501c3 NPO looking for virtual Volunteers that specifically work with Apple (corporate volunteers). Is there any chance you can connect with us? I just want to know how it works because we don't have an apple store nearby!
Can I ask you how long it takes to get Apple's approval to work with them?
I work for apple at the Genius Bar and sometimes on the sales floor so I know how it’s like working their
I got an email to finalize app after hiring manager convo! Does that mean i made it?!
I’m doing Applecore starting tomorrow in person. I’m nervous haha
Don’t be nervous. It’s SUPER fun and you’ll make new friends. Good luck and welcome to Apple!
Hey Firooza
I just finished my group interview on webX for apple specialist interview!
I just wanted to know how long it took for you to hear back from them after the group interview?
hello, when i has the web x interview it took a 8 days to reply to me ….
so i very recently got the position but start training at the end of the month. they emailed me back the day after the group interview and asked about my availability for the job. after they made sure it matched their availability needs, they told me possible times for the next interview. did you get a response from them yet? i've heard that sometimes it can take a week or so.
Hey do you know when you can use your discount? I’d like to buy a tablet but I just got hired. Is it like a 3 month waiting period?
THANK YOU SM, I have my second interview soon and I’m worried they wont hire me just because I’m a bit shy lol, but just going to try to be as friendly as possible
What is the easiest position in Apple Store? I want to work their but i feel like its hard😅
same i am thinking abt applying to the position responsible for the workshops at stores
Justo say you can always ask whom ever is shadowing you to just be in the interaction! Makes it easier! I've been 7 years at apple now!
Do you keep your device after you left or you have to give it back after you leave?
She bought it..
Thank you so much for your video!! I am about to apply for a job with Apple. I also was wondering if you could please share your resume with me at the time you applied?
Great video, I have the second interview tmr and I’m really nervous but fingers crossed! Your video gave me great insight and made me want to work their even more.
update?
so how was it?
Do you get the benefits mentioned part time? I have an interview soon and this video really helped
How was it??? What time of questions did they ask?
Yes, but when you apply, you start part time, no exceptions
@@mariocontreras6855 what about the seasonal role, do they convert every seasonal person as permanent one ?
Hi. Thanks for sharing the video! It helps a lot! I just got an email from Apple, they said “We really liked your profile and CV, and that’s why we’re moving your application forward.
The next step will be a virtual seminar presentation with the Apple recruitment team, and we’ll be in touch soon with an invitation.” Does it mean I need to give a presentation or they will give me a presentation? Do I need prepare for it? Thank you!
Wow! Let me know how it went! I was reading up on Reddit and I think the candidate needed to create a presentation about themselves
Why did u quit
Is it possible for seasonal specialist to get permanent post?
so would you still work there if it wasn't for personal reason that made you quit ?
I got the job but they won’t disclose with me how much I will make and hour they told me to wait for and offer letter after my background check
That’s so strange mine told me in my first interview.
Best bet is to Google the country your from and what the typical pay is.
i was told via a phone call a few days after my offer email..strange but well done for getting this far!!!
Hey! Im 15 and I’m just trying to understand what subjects should I take in my high school which’ll help me to get a job at apple in future. It’ll be really helpful if you answer.
Thanks
it honestly does not matter if you wanna be a product specialist
@@firooza lol I’m still deciding what job Field should I choose in apple
If you wanna work at Apple Corporate, Computer Science degrees are great for Engineer roles :) Apple Retail does not need degrees. Just depends what you want to do!
@@itsFig yeah I’m gonna go for stuff related to computer engineering and science
Thanks anyways
How do you get your weekly schedule?
Had my 3rd interview with the store manager. Hoping to get some good news 🙌🏽
did you get it?
What type of questions did they ask?? And how did it go?
ok so when i go to career opportunities, it just goes to a bunch of information. it doesn’t say anything about applications. did i go to the wrong thing?
after you go to career opportunities, on the top right corner, there’s a button that says Search. Press the Search button and you will be able to see the roles they’re hiring
Hi, I passed the group interview and now I have an interview with the store manager. Can you please give a detailed breakdown of the phase 2 interview pleaseee
It’s pretty much the same; you’re still in a group and they ask the same type of questions.
Can I ask you how long it takes to get Apple's approval to work with them?

almost two weeks
Love your room

How to apply?

I phoned Apple back in 5th October 2011 to see if they had any vacancies ?
I was told that there was no longer any Jobs here...
I got the job at apple but i was wondering if they are forcing employees to get vaccinated for covid?
well it was optional when i worked there, not sure how it is now
I just applied two weeks ago and haven't heard back should I be worried.
Have you heard something yet?
It can take up to a month. That's how long it took me to hear back. Good luck!
Took me over 3 months to hear a response, another 2 1/2 weeks to get the position, so don't hold your breath.
Took them almost a month or more to reach out to me
Did you start off as part-time? If so, what was the maximum hours you could work?
