The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple in May 2010
Interview
Led by a manager with other employees in attendance. Did a lot of around the room questions, very few of which had to do with Apple or technology. They seemed to have no interest in your knowledge of Apple or their products, but rather were focused on attitude. That's really all it is as far as I could tell.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX) in Oct 2010
Interview
The interview involved myself and a group of approximately 30 candidates.
It was mainly a presentation video about how great Apple retail is and how fortunate you would be if you were hired.
They asked the group 1 by 1 to speak about themselves and tell everyone what their favorite "guilty pleasure" song was on their ipod.
They also broke the group up into teams and assigned an exercise in selling an imaginary item to the rest of the group.
It was ridiculous and I didnt get called back.
