I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
The first interview was great. Very laid back, really the recruiter is trying to get to know the interviewee. I got a 2nd interview immediately. I then listened to a webinar on more information about the job at home and how the process generally works. I am so far pretty happy with the whole experience. I used the LAST strategy for answering question. Listen Apologize Solve and Thank. Best way to really improve customer service and make the customer happy with their experience.
Take calls to resolve customer issues, including all Apple products, wireless routers, cable modems etc. Great job benefits and I work from home. Just walk down stairs and I'm at work.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Applied online.
I got a call about a week later from a HR rep, she asked me some general questions about the job and my availibility. We then went into a few technical related questions to test my knowledge. I.e. 'What would you tell a customer who called in and said they had a screen that wouldn't turn on?'. She then forwarded me on to my first stage interview(this was about a weeks wait). My stage 2 interview invitation came via email. I was allowed to choose between Skype and Facetime, I chose Skype. The day of the 2nd interview we talked about technical questions (listed below), there was about 6 of them. He also asked me to do a role-playing scenario where a general question was asked about a customer calling because there Ipad would not play sound and what should they do. I was then told about my 3rd and final interview with the hiring manager, that is in a few days. All in all a very straight-forward experience. Everyone has been very kind and extremely professional.
