She didn't mention anything about multiple classes. But for me to draw conclusions based on the limited info we've been given would imply I have an understanding of the Apple hiring process, which we have learned is vague and complex at best.[/QUOTE]
catbite777 didn't you mention asking and being told it was cpu? I'm hoping so.[/QUOTE]
Yes, I did specifically ask and was told CPU, but I haven't done paperwork yet so I would think Stukenbroeker's information would be more accurate than mine. My paperwork isn't until Thursday. Is yours tomorrow?

Yep it's at 2:30p so I'll let you know what I find out.
The training is 5-6 weeks correct? This is fulltime paid training right?
I'm waiting on the hireright background check to complete 😱 it's been the longest most nervous wait of my life lol! I really want this job!
I was told I'd be in the 11/26 class as well but I know that could change depending on how long the background process takes.

I was told to expect it to be back-to-back, but in reality there are usually a couple of minutes between calls. They want you prepared to take them quickly though as at times it will be that way.
Also, from what I understand iOS is busier than CPU, so it'd make since for them to add more people to that queue. I'm hoping the 11/26 group are actually multiple classes though. It sounds like there are too many for one class anyway. I'd prefer to be in CPU anyway because it's more fun than dealing with phones all day.

My 3rd interviewer told me it was CPU. I'm in the 11/26 part time for the ones that don't know yet lol. Now that I think about it my recruiter (the one that send me the letter and called me) told me on my 2nd interview that my hours were as follow: You will work Mondays and Wednesday and friday for 3 hours and Saturdays 8 hours. I really hope this is not the case but whatever....And Im also thinking there are multiple classes with the same date because on our conference call the lady mention there were about 40-50 people on that one.
Thanks for that info. I called again and lady was really helpful. Today I called to get the line and the guy was even better. He disable every feature for me, hook my internet speed up, and they are coming to install the cable line in what will be my office. I want them to test it that way I don't run into some technical difficulties on training day 1. Well, that is out of the way. Now I just got to figured out the type of desk and chair. After that is daycare and I'm all set 🙂
In the paperwork session for 11/26 I was told our training would last 4 weeks. I am part time, 11/26 class and was told iOS, just to reiterate. I was also told there was over 40 people in the paperwork session. Don't know how that reflects on the actual class size.
The recruiter told me about the call volume, but I don't know anything about the 11/26 class as far as how many there are.
I applied for the at home care position with my resume this morning at 2:30 am. At 8:30 I got an email asking some basic questions about if I could have a desk and a phone etc. At 3 pm I got a call and was asked about my computer knowledge. After that she scheduled me for a phone interview for Wednesday at 3:30. I was wondering what kind of questiOns should I look for.
why do most want to be in the CPU group? Are there more beneifits? Someone on here said that ios gets an ipod touch. Is that true?

Hi,
I am in 11/26 class also!
Just wondering how many of you here is in same class. I'd like to be in contact via email/PM/FaceTime/Facebook...etc🙂
I received paperwork last week and waiting for paperwork session on Thr.
I have silly question here:
I am not sure what exactly are OS and CPU...😕
When I got my offer, I was told I am dealing with iTunes as my job.
And helping customers via phone and Internet.
Also, have anybody bought desk and chair yet?
I was going to wait till Black Friday for better deal, but it will be too late🙁
Oh, that's interesting. Don't come across many doing that. You'll be dealing strictly with iTunes issues of all sorts. Supporting customers via phone, email, chat.
I'm in the 11/26 class. You can PM me for FaceTime and email info.
iOS will be dealing with mobile devices such as iPhone, iPod, iPad, while CPU will be computer based.
As far as the desk goes, in my paperwork session earlier we were actually encouraged not to purchase furniture until we start training. Deals can be had, and we'll have a better idea of what they want us to have after the first bit of the class.
Hope this helps!
Oh ok, like returned when we quit/change positions like the iMac or as in returned after training? Also, for the part timers, is this just seasonal or is it for the long run. I need to know that ill have a job after the season is up.
Both are busy and they are back to back calls. I mean some times you mean have some minutes between calls but expect back to back..
When u first take calls they will not be back to back because your getting groomed in
----------
I already work for apple as a advisor through a 3rd party employer contractor. I work cpu dept...
I applied for this at home job today directly with apple and I'm hoping I get it.
How long after you submit your resume do they contact you back?
It seems like they should hire me right away. I don't even need to go to training since I'm a direct fit
