I recently applied to Apple and haven’t had much luck with landing the position in retail. I normally go through the 3-4 interview process and they normally go with someone else. I have many years of experience in tech and leadership. Anyone have any advice on what to do next?

Find someone that works for Apple and ask them to refer/advocate for you.

This will typically only get you a 1st interview, not the position. Unless of course the advocate is the store leader, or MAYBE a senior manager.

Since you’ve already interviewed a few times, I’m sure your familiar with the behavioral type questions that get asked during the interviews.

Familiarize yourself with the STAR method, think of 5-6 of the most impactful work related stories you have, and work on adjusting the stories on the fly depending on what questions get asked.

That, with a good dose of friendly attitude, and some luck, will surely do the trick.

Coming from someone who’s literally had dozens of interviews with Apple at the retail level for a number of different roles!

What should I do if it’s been two weeks since I’ve heard from a recruiter after doing interviews at EY I’ve already emailed twice due to a couple competing offers having upcoming deadlines and still have not gotten a reply from the recruiter. Should I just assume that I didn’t get the job?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?
