tips for prepare for interviews (phone and onsite)

Below are some tips that will help you prepare for interviews (phone and onsite):
  • The interviewer(s) will cover in 5-10 min:
    • Your resume and career trajectory: Will discuss projects and technologies listed on your resume along with your career interests.
    • Culture/team fit: Be prepared for situational and behavior questions. The interviewers are assessing:
      • If you are someone they can work with.  Try to connect with the interviewer and be collaborative.
      • Augments/brings something new to the team.  This is where you separate yourself from others.
      • Does well in an ambiguous environment.  We have very little documentation so knowing the questions to ask and who to ask is paramount for your success at Apple.
      • Is curious/inquisitive; asks further questions to understand the problem so you can create a more thought out solution that works.
      • Shows enthusiasm/passion for the work; it is not just a job but something you enjoy doing.  This can be demonstrated by what you like to do in your free time to improve upon your skills/knowledge.   EX: blogging, coding challenges/hackathons, attending/speaking at meetups/conferences, etc…
      • Your energy level and excitement for Apple/Product.  The interviewer is looking for someone who shows true interest not only in Apple but this specific team/product.  Be sure to do your research and explain what really interests you about this team/product, challenges, technologies, passion/interest for the space/product.  DO NOT say because Apple approached me, think about why you may actually consider a change for this team/Apple.

    • Role Specific Topics:

    • This will be a semi-technical conversation about your technical environment (cloud, tools using for virtualization, network-based storage, containerization, orchestration), scripting languages you are most comfortable with, along with your development/automation/tooling and criticality of projects you had an impact on.

    • TIPS:  This is not the time to discuss compensation.
      • In general the interviewer will be assessing your analytical thinking, business function knowledge, customer service orientation, inquisitiveness, innovation, problem solving, and communication.
      • Communication: Be clear and concise in your communication, manage your interview time wisely (sell yourself but also give the interviewer time to ask their questions as well).
      • Confidence: make eye contact, be confident but not overly
      • Finally - ask questions!  When a hiring manager or interviewer asks if you have any questions be sure to have at least 2-3  ready to go… (this is your opportunity to make sure this team/Apple is the right fit for you).  For additional question ideas try searching “Questions to ask during an interview”.
