I concur with Pilot DC's advice. Got my fingers crossed for you! You'll do great!
----------
I wonder why Apple continues to direct hire for the same positions that it has retained services from a job placement agency to fill? It could have entered into contract-to-direct hire terms but apparently did not..... Interesting. One thing I considered when deciding which route to take is that some employers are construed as "traditional vs. nontraditional." Nowadays resume-polishing is an extreme necessity to advance in today's workforce.
I was wondering for those starting the 9/24 class if you have heard anything yet. We were told in the phone conference that we should hear from our managers on 9/17-9/18 and I have not heard anything yet.
I have not talked to anyone yet either. I think some of the 9/10er's on this thread didn't talk to their managers until the Friday before the class. I'm really looking out for the equipment tracking email
Can't wait!First initial call
Received my first initial email yesterday with the questionnaire and got a call with in the first 5 minutes of sending the email. Pretty brief conversation regarding my information and some initial questions regarding What did Ram stand for and what CPU stood for and what the difference was between hardware and software. Failed the first two questions as I was so anxious that my mind went blank but the lady told me that she would forward my information and resume on to a recruiter and should hear something with in the next two business days....I'm hoping for some high hopes as I work a part time job right now and no advancement as they are strict on their full time slots as if a full timer does not leave then a full time slot would never be available to me. Now anxiously awaiting a hear back from the recruiter.

what city/state did you apply on?
I applied in Little Rock, Arkansas. What about you? I live in a very small town that the only job line that offers anything is Wal-Mart in which I am currently working for.

I am excited too. I have been going crazy because I am ready to start working. I am one of those that have to stay busy all the time
I guess we will be classmates! I applied for Full Time work directly through
it starts out at like $14.50 an hour. I'm just hoping because this seems like a great job. I have had 3 years experience in the customer call center field and I enjoyed it but this would be even better working from home. A bit of experience in the technical field along with my associates degree in Information Technology but a little new to the Apple field.I heard from a manager yesterday who confirmed packages would arrive Thursday or Friday. I'm sure you will all get a call by close of business today. Look forward to meeting you all Monday
Day two of background check waiting. Yes I know I know probably will be late next week before I know anything. Already searching Craig's list for desk and chair. Good deals for nice desk!
Yes!
I rec'd the long awaited phone call today And I was offered the position... Fulltime At Home Advisor Starting training 10/8

Sweet! Congrats. How long after you submitted background check was it until you received the call. I'm slated for 10/22 class
Interview Questions
Is there anything that I need to know for interview questions or how I can prepare myself for some of the questions that may be asked to go ahead an prep?

What interview are you on? Phone? First Facetime? Second FaceTime?Is there anything that I need to know for interview questions or how I can prepare myself for some of the questions that may be asked to go ahead an prep?
Yes I had my initial interview with a nice girl named Kristin yesterday after submitting my questionnaire. She advised me that she would be sending my resume and questionnaire to a recruiter and should hear something with in the next two business days. This was yesterday.
The second interview via skype or FaceTime will consist of some chit chat and some technical questions like;
1. What's the difference of RAM and ROM
2. What's hardware
3. What's an operating system
4. What type of computer do you use and what's its specs
5. How would you troubleshoot email not being sent (answer: check outgoing server settings)
Go back about 20/30 post on this thread and there are a lot more questions asked. Good luck

Thank you
It took exactly one week... Weds to Weds
Be patient. I know background checks take 7-14 days sometimes.
Thanks. I submitted mine at 3:00pm est time yesterday. Long wait ahead but well
Worth it
My second interview also went well. I am also waiting on the email. Hopefully we will be attending the same training class!
