I applied online. I interviewed at Gap (Columbus, OH)
Interview
Initially contacted by phone.
During the interview they ask you about company history (what did Gap first sell, who were its founders etc)
They then take you into the store and ask you to put together an outfit with the occasion they give you. Mine was Business Casual.
It was not a 1:1, mine had another interviewee so I was basically trying to top him. They are very into customer service so mention that a lot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you balance customer service and the cash register?
Applied through a paper application submitted at store. Received a call back for an interview within the week. Had a one-on-one interview with a manager at the store and received an offer within a few days. Had to sign up for a direct deposit and paperwork was a disaster--took a couple of submissions to get everything sorted. Official start day was almost a month after initial offer.
