I was interviewed at the tables just outside the store, in the mall. The three questions were, "Why do you want to work at Apple," then, "Tell me about a time when a result exceeded your expectations," and "How do you prefer to work, alone or in a group?" It was not very difficult, but I didn't get the role.
