Answers(Backstory: This interview is for the fifth job I've interviewed for at Apple this semester. This question arose in a phone conversation with HR.)
- apple-maybe? April 08, 2012 in United States for Wireless
HR: (Snarky Tone) So what did you learn from your past three interview experiences with Apple?
Me: I learned that at Apple, whatever subspecialty for whatever job your applying for, you have to be the best in the world. If you have equivalent skill, but someone has more work experience than you, there always going to pick the person with more work experience, and coming right out of college, that means you don't get the job. I had asked my interviewer during one of my interviews, "Do people move around at Apple?" and she said "No, most people don't move around at Apple, they usually leave Apple. You're not going to learn how to do someone else's job at this job."
HR: Awkward silence...
How do I answer this question more professionally and succinctly? Why was the conversation awkward after I had made my remark?| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE

AnswersHow would you design a software like Microsoft Excel? Basically, the interviewer wanted to know how I would store the cells and the relationship between cells. For examples, let there be 4 cells, A1, B1, C1 and D1.
- newbie August 18, 2011
Let values of the cells be following:
A1 = 10
B1 = A1 + 3
C1 = A1 * 2
D1 = C1 + B1
In this case, how would I store relationship between cells and if I make a change in A1, how would that propagate to other cells.| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE
