The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gap in Aug 2010
Interview
Interviewing was simply professional and comfortable with a friendly manager. Applications were online and once my information was printed out we sat down for an interview in the back room. Questions were simple and mainly focused on flexibility of my schedule. Most sales associate interviews will focus on availability of potential employees and that will determine hireability.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you outfit a customer in the current collection?
Group interview with other candidates with the store manager. Arrive at the store and wait for other candidates. Then interview happens in break room and it lasted roughly about 30-60minutes
It was a group interview of about 10-12 people. If I remember correctly they take you to the back, the stock room, and ask almost everyone the same question. The interview lasted about 30 minutes.
It was very easy, one in person interview with the general manager and then I was accepted! Mainly personality and behavioral questions were asked, and I think enthusiasm on my end helped the most.
