Job Application reply question

Hello all!

I have recently received an email regarding my job application from apple recruiting, regarding some questions, after answering them via the reply function on my email and waiting for a while, I have still yet to hear back from the recruiter, my question is; did i reply the wrong way? Because I just hit reply and sent through the answers via email. Was that the wrong way? Or is there another way that I should of replied to these questions? Such as on the platform on the website where I applied from.

if the email addresses were not somehow "spoofed" - appear to be from ____ @ apple.com and really be from some other address and replying to yet another

AND

there are no other instructions

I'd say replying is what they intended -- but that is still ambiguous, if you ask me

I am curious... is the additional information requested seemingly "personal to YOU" - or could it be asked of every candidate that made it past the first cut?

hey richaja

being patient will help a little. if you were e-mailed, then e-mailing back is most likely keep in mind that you put in the application. you are most likely gonna know soon. it is a big company, i am sure there are many more other applicants.some many more than your imagination will let you beleive.

It i not possible that an Apple recruiter would leave this "ambiguous"

Its clear that the questions are just about availability, nothing specific, no details about personal affairs or anything, something you'd ask everyone during screening such as; when can you work, how many hours, etc...

I doubt that it is a spoofed email (scammer), I just think they aren't getting my emails or have lost them between others, thus why I sent another one. I guess it's just a waiting game at this point

Yep. Wait.

I understand from the few applications that I have submitted that you will not get a "we regret to inform you" correspondence at any early stage

The next step - if you make this cut - should be a Facetime/Skype "interview" scheduling - again, likely via email

They didn't say anything about it! This is what is below the questions

"If you could please send through your responses as soon as possible, we will be in touch if you're a potential match for one of our positions.

I look forward to hearing from you!"

Below that is the name of the recruiter which I will not show, also the email was from Applejobs@email.apple.com, yet the reply function on the email sent it to applevic@apple.com, so I sent another email today checking if they received my first and if everything has been okay with them. I hope they get back to me soon with a response as to whats happened and if they liked my answers and if not then why.

Thanks for your reply by the way, I really do appreciate it.
