Interview
Applied online and was invited to attend a group interview last night. About 18 people were there ranging in age from new college graduates to older, retired people. After the Apple managers introduced themselves, we were asked to do the same and to talk briefly about what piece of "technology" they really felt was their favorite. It did not have to be an Apple product, yet it seemed that everyone pulled some sort of Apple technology out of the bag, ranging from love of iPhones to Mac computers. A video was shown to give the applicants a basic understanding of their store layout and personnel functions. Then, we were put into 4 groups to do a little role-play scenario regarding a certain product. We all tried to have something to contribute and the managers were looking for the use of features and benefits in our presentations. A Q & A session followed, and then we were set on our way. We were told that this would be the first in a series of interviews, (if we were called back), and that we should hear something either way within the next week. No doubt during this entire 2 hour period the managers were making notes, (some mental, some on paper), and they did stress the 'team" concept and approach.

Interview
Looking for the right answers. Show determination in the company, show that it isn't just a job, but a part of your lifestyle. Be quick with answers. And if you don't know, then don't BS them. Flat at tell them, but remind them that you would be on your way to find the right answer if they so ever pleased.

Interview
Came in 15 minutes early, the guy was really nice- dressed in shorts and a tee shirt. I was a fool dressed in a shirt and tie, after doing some home work I found that dressing casual is what is best. So when I went for the second interview dressed in a nice shirt and some jeans I got better looks (I guess for my individual style vs the corporate norm). Questions were fairly standard, process took 15 minutes.
