I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2008
Interview
Phone interview, 3 separate interviews, first two with one person the final was a panel interview. I think they thought they were asking me hard, earth shattering questions, but it was really silly. They care more about the culture and what everyone looks like rather than what you can do for them as a store manager.

Question 1
What is your hiring process like when you are assembling a team?
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview process was structured and professional. It started with a brief phone screening where basic questions about experience and leadership style were discussed. After that, I had an in-person interview with a senior manager focused on customer service approach, team management skills, and problem-solving in stressful situations. The atmosphere was calm but slightly formal, and the interviewer paid close attention to real-life examples.

Interview
Was told I wasn't "Apple Enough", I answered everything to the best of my ability. They want people who are absolute Apple loyalists. I tried to not fan boy out and play it cool. that was not the correct approach.
