100% and can help the company/ department succeed. I have a good deal of experience with this role and would love to talk to a recruiter or a hiring manager more about this. If anyone
could reach out to me if you have any information on that I would greatly appreciate it.
Interviewing with Apple next week for the roles of Global Supply Manager (GSM) and Worldwide Procurement Analyst in Austin. Does anyone have any tips or advice for the interview? What kind of questions do they ask?
Also, what’s the compensation like in Austin specifically? I would think the compensation would be different than Cupertino. Anyone have any offers or salaries for these positions in Austin?

Nice gesture, as long as it’s not at the doorstep of my house we’re good. I would say something along the lines of
“Hi X, (insert brief update on the position here). Additionally I want to say I appreciate the gift you sent, it was a nice gesture; however I would politely ask that you hold off on future gifts. It is nothing personal, but to ensure a fair and equitable hiring process we are unable to take gifts from candidates”.
Exactly. Like, if it was to my office it would have been excessive but not a red flag. But it was to my house.
This is perfect - thank you. I am using this format right now.
How about… “Thanks so much for the gift. It definitely wasn’t necessary, but I appreciate it. The company is already excited to meet with you and we’re impressed with XYZ…”. Don’t overthink it
I like that thank you.
I am overthinking the part where I want to show him it had no impact on my presentation and also why would you go get my personal address.
(Cont). I then asked a friend (because this stranger has my address now) in the community if she knew the guy/family and she vouched for their go-getter personalities, they are very involved in the community and make things happen. She agreed it was funky but she confirmed he isn’t a crazy psycho.
In the meantime, my meeting with the company today ended with them very much wanting to meet him.
Any advice on how to navigate/word an email that says that was weird to do but also they want to meet you?
Don't say it was weird. Don't acknowledge it. Introduce him to the company.
It appears that you both did the same thing. Both asked for outside information. 1) He asked someone for your address 2) You asked a third party about personal details of someone outside of a work setting. I agree with @PWC1 with the approach.
I understand. I asked because I was really worried about the fact that he had my address now. I was already awaiting confirmation for interview from the company and planned no further thought about him. (I just edited the post to clarify that, thank you for pointing it out)
Enjoy the chocolate and don’t let it influence your decision making.
I’d be uncomfortable but I don’t think there is much upside to saying anything.
