I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gap in Mar 2012
Interview
I applied for Baby Gap/ Gap Kids online, and two weeks later got a phone call for an interview. However, I was unable to make the interview, so I called to let the manager know and she was very understanding. When I had the interview, the manager was friendly and helpful. She asked why I wanted to work there, and I told because it seemed like a friendly and heartfelt environment. She loved my answer, saying that The Gap was all about being heart-to-heart with their customers, and that she gets tired of interviewing people who said they just need a job. I have to go for a background check and hopefully will be hired by next week.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Gap in Aug 2011
Interview
I scheduled my interview with the owner of that Gap location. We went to the back stock room, where we sat down and he interviewed me with the basic questions, Why do you want to work here, what can you offer, how do you like your current job, etc. All was going well, and then he asked me how old I was. I was 17 at the time, so he said he couldn't hire me because I was not 18. "I was just about to say you're hired, but we can't hire under 18" he said he'd check with corporate because he really felt like I'd be an asset to his store. Within the week or two after I called three times and he wasn't there and he didn't ever call me back, so I figured I should just walk away and look for other places.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Gap (New York, NY) in Feb 2012
Interview
I applied online to various Gap and Old Navy stores. About 2 weeks later I received a call back from the Gap asking if I were still interested in the position. After stating I was, she conducted a brief phone interview that consisted of fairly basic questions, such as why you want to work here, what were somethings you disliked about your current or prior jobs, etc. Subsequently, she scheduled me for a group interview for the coming Tuesday. Upon arriving, I was told by the hiring manager we were waiting for two other candidates who surprisingly did not show so it turned into a one on one interview. She asked some of the same questions as the person during the phone interview but wanted to know more about my work ethnic and ways I kept up with fashion. Gap is very big on customer service and being able to go out your way to seek customers as well as wanting someone who plans to grow with the company so try and incorporate this during your interview. Afterwards, she scheduled me the next day with the general manager. He was really nice and it was pretty informal. He asked More about my past work experience and what customer service means to me. He also went more in depth about the company and the expectations they have for their employees as well as pay and hours. He then told me that if I pass the background check then I would be hired and will continue from there when it's complete
