((( Hope this is the correct subforum )))
They wanna speak to me on the phone and then schedule an in person interview afterwards. Kinda excited.
Anything I should look out for? Should I brush up on some nerd knowledge? Will I be required to crack open a Mac at the interview (as I've had to do for previous similar jobs)?
Starting pay well?
What about raises? Benefits?
TIA!
tl;dr - What choo talkin about, Genius Bar?

Use proper English. If you go into your interview and talk like you wrote that thread, you're better off looking for a dishwashing job at Chuck E Cheese.

Apple employees are forbidden from discussing anything related to their jobs, or internal company matters.

Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

You're not exactly building on proper grammar yourself, Chuck.

Wear an "I love Steve" shirt and eat an apple on your way in.

Yes but he's not going on a job interview is he.
You're trying to sell yourself to your prospective employer. If you go into the interview (in person or on the phone) and fail to properly communicate or convey why you should be hired, then they'll move on.
At this point, Apple is in a great position to be very picky on who it hires and there's a lot of competition because of the popularity of Apple and the sinking economy.

I had a friend who was a genius. I heard that the interviews aren't super technical, as they give a lot of training. It's more about making sure you have the aptitude and that you'll be a good fit. He said that the pay isn't anything to write home about, good for retail, but not awesome considering the fact that most geniuses could probably hold traditional IT jobs at traditional IT salaries.
