In the retail stores, it's really easy to get in. A 1-2 round interview with store or manager regarding some pretty basic questions would get you the job. Nothing special, but I'm sure from the other posts you will realize that retail store is a very different story to the corporate office, which is very tough to get in....

Apple interviews tend to be more focused on the questions you ask instead of the answers they ask. Be prepared to ask some good questions. After a few interviews and talk with the Cupertino headquarters, things iron our well. They're quite relaxed and casual in their interviews but obviously tough to get in.

The process to obtain a position in the retail store is rather simple and easy. There is usually only one interview with the store manager. Sometimes there is a phone or email interview with the the HR department. As long as you are willing to work full time, the process goes a lot smoother. In the corporate level in Cupertino, it's more formal. There is a first round interview in the region, then a second round on the campus in Cupertino. The interviews are all very relaxed. The interviewers usually comes in casual cloths, even on the campus. Each interviewer/manager has different personality and method. They usually reserve significant amount of time for questions for them. It's recommended to have a few good questions for them to spark conversations.
