Ineligibility for CPT & TN Visa

I am currently a masters student in analytics under F1 visa, but I received a position from Apple for a reliability engineering position. The job requires a background in chemical engineering with some data analysis which is what I have.

However, due to the pandemic, I am not eligible for CPT, so the only way I could work is to change my status from f1 to TN visa.

Will the fact that I was previously a F1 visa affect my chances of a TN visa?
 
Not at all. Many TNers migrate from F1 to CPT/OPT to TN, or F1 to TN directly.
Job description matching quals matching a TN category. That is all that matters

As long as your job description matches TN job category, that would be fine. No need to go through CPT.
