I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple in May 2009
Interview
I spoke with a recruiter on the phone for about an hour than I was directed to the district manager for an interview. I later interviewed with a store manager and my final interview was with the regional manager. It took over two months to go through the process and after I received the job they joke that it is easier to get into college than a job at Apple.
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.
