I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Gap (Vacaville, CA) in May 2008
Interview
I had a pre-interview when I turned in my application to the manager in regards to my reason for applying to GAP, what my past experiences were, what could I bring to GAP as a potential employee...Then I had my one on one interview with one of the managers and they asked the basic.....what are your positive and negative qualities, situational questions.....nothing big. I was told right after the interview whether I was hired or not and I was immediately hired on the spot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you react when you spot a customer trying to steal an item from the store?
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Gap (Stamford, CT) in May 2010
Interview
Received a call after filling out the online application. Interviewer did not start on time, had to wait around. Standard retail questions were asked--tell me about yourself, why do you want to work here and some offbeat ones like: "If a customer were to ask you for fashion advice, what would you dress them in?" Interviewer was pleasant but was not prepared for the interview--she ended up asking whatever she could think of at the moment. The people who worked there were young like most retail positions, so I would not bring up things like a college degree--I think they're looking for someone with tons of flexibility and someone who really doesn't mind working for minimum wage.

Question 1
Describe a time when you received great customer service.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gap (Washington, DC) in May 2010
Interview
Group interview with myself and 4 other girls. We met with the Store's General Manager and our interview lasted for about an hour. During the interview we were given various role-play scenarios and were asked various situation based questions. Keep in mind Gap's number one goal is to be "Customer Obssesed".
