They took me into the offices behind the store (which are nothing like the actual store, I must say :p) and had my second (and final I think?) interview for a Specialist job.

We had a discussion as I originally wanted the Concierge path but then figured out it's more of an Administration job and i'd prefer to spend time with people and teaching them stuff or answering questions.

Then I get the bombshell that means I can only work twelve hours a week (instead of the planned twenty - however, I can work 35 hours per week in holidays), due to my age. I don't mind, I guess. It goes up to 40 hours per week when I hit sixteen in November.

It was a really relaxed interview, I got asked what Apple products I own, what I do in my spare time etc. It was with the Lead Specialist (or something along those lines). It was pretty fun!

I get a call back Monday / Tuesday... with a yes or a no. I think from here it goes into contract and NDA signing, or they may hit me with another interview. Either way, i'm scared.

Plus yes, if I get the job, i'll post a picture of me in my blue t-shirt!

Wish me luck, aha.

You can't under european law :P 48h is the maximum I believe.

Edit: ah no, you can work up to 60h. 48h is everywhere else.

Just because BETA testers say NDA doesn't mean apple would give you an NDA, what wouldn't they let you tell, your helping, not creating. But congrats, hope you get it!
