Apple interview
An Apple recruiter hit me up for a role in an area I don’t have direct experience with. I told her I didn’t have this experience, but she still insisted to do a phone call. We spoke and she later gave my resume to the hiring manager. They want to do a phone screen, I guess they feel I have enough experience in related areas? I’m torn, I don’t want to have a bad interview on my record with them, and feel I would be better fit in a different role. Should I turn this down and tell her to try me on other roles instead? I fear I might miss out on an interview in the near future. I’m currently looking so it would be very nice to jump ship to Apple.
You should try it. I have seen people who didn’t think they had relevant experience but ended up getting offer and joining.
Good to know, thanks for the replies.
Go for it! I got a similar call about 3 months ago, told the recruiter that I don’t have the exact experience, but it didn’t matter. I studied hard and interviews were really difficult, but totally worth it! Best of luck :)
Apple doesn’t have any rule that you cannot re interview for 6 m or 1 y if you don’t do well. One team does not care about how you did in other team interviews. You can confirm this with the recruiter.
I can confirm this too. I did 4 phone screens with 4 different teams within the past year
