Behavioral
This was the worst interview experience I’ve ever had. At the start, the interviewer told me she wouldn’t be looking at me much because she’d be reading my CV on another screen. I found this pretty unprofessional — she could have arranged her screen differently so she could at least look engaged in the conversation. The whole interview was barely five minutes, and she seemed rushed. She didn’t ask most of the questions I was expecting. Instead, she asked which programs I would use for the job — which felt unnecessary and irrelevant for an entry-level role. I sent her a thank-you email afterward, but she never replied. She said she would update me the following week about the next interview, but I never heard anything — not even a message saying I wasn’t selected. Overall, the experience left me feeling really disappointed and insecure. I was expecting a much more professional and respectful process from Apple.

Read report →“Every store has different questions because Apple gives them a template, and then the store lead creates their own questions from that. Some questions are goofy or random just to see how you react to weird, out-of-place stuff, like “what superpower would you have and why?” That’s just to see who you are as a person.”
