I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn describing job opportunities at Apple. I currently work in a very narrow area of expertise, which is 3D graphics for embedded systems, and so they thought I was a good fit for their position. I explained to the recruiter that in order for me to switched jobs the position had to appeal me and so he said I was going to be interviewing for a Display Controller role, which of course I wasn't that excited about, then he said that there were more positions opening up and that I could interview for any of them, so I agreed after I saw a Software Engineering role. The recruiter scheduled the phone interview a week later and he said the manager of one of the teams was going to do the interview. To be honest I really prepared for this phone interview and I concentrated on generic Computer Graphics concepts, Operating System concepts and C++ concepts, and to my surprise that were exactly the topics we covered during the interview. To my surprised though the manager of the team didn't show up but rather a technical lead with a very strong asian accent, so I was asking to repeat himself on my occasions. In general I thought I did a decent interview as I was fully prepared yet he thought I wasn't really a good fit for the position; I had the feeling because they were so desperately trying to fill the display controller role for which I already said no, yet during the phone interview the tech lead guy did ask me if I was interested on that role!
