The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Mar 2010
Interview
Started off going to an info session for the advisor program. Very laid back, I actually won an ipod shuffle from the event. They directed everyone back to the website however. Sent resume and cover letter to the website, recieved an email back asking me to take a survey which consisted of mostly computer skill/tech based questions. (wpm, bandwidth of your connection, etc.). Submitted survey, recieved a third email a few days later requesting to confirm an appointment for an in person interview. still waiting on that.

Question 1
Are you able or willing to obtain an analog phone line?
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX) in Jun 2008
Interview
Like most, I started at Apple through Volt. Volt does the standard background test and then a skills interview. the skils interview at Volt is silly because it is all about Windows computers, so if you have truly never used a PC it might be difficult no matter how great you are at working on Macs. A few days later, I went to a group presentation and skills test at Apple, where they asked Mac-specific tech questions using a standardized online form. Immediately after, we had quick one-on-one interviews. Standard interview questions. A few days later i received a call from Volt with the offer.

Question 1
The most unexpected part of the interview process was the skills test through Volt that was all about PC and Windows technology. Particularly the fact that it was even outdated by Windows standards, so you were answering questions that applied to Windows 98 and Windows 2000.
