I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Apple (Richmond, VA) in Jul 2010
Interview
- Applied online for a part-time specialist position so I could pay the rent.
- Had a group interview with about 20 people ... took about an hour or so and they asked us about Apple stuff and to make a brief presentation about your favorite product.
- Got a call to be interviewed for a Genius position.
- Phone interview with lead genius for technical screening - I was asked about 20-30 questions about general computing and Apple-related hardware and software. No brain teasers or anything like that.
- Interview with hiring manager and lead genius ... talked about working on a team, previous work experience, etc.
- Interview with store leader and marketing manager and we got along well.

Question 1
I was asked some specific questions about hardware that I didn't know the answer to at the time - something like which models supported FireWire 800.
Famously competitive as always, my odds were better since I kept updating my resume whenever I was on the job search. They reached out to me first by email, I completed an application, and then had three rounds of interviews in total.

3 interviews that were all online and then an in person orientation where we learned more about the company and the values. After this point I became a temp 6 month contract
