The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Gap (Bloomington, MN) in Sep 2011
Interview
Well it was a group interview with six of us. It was real bnasic and the Interviewer she made the interview comfortable for us all. i felt that even though the interview was comfortable only 3 of the 6 of us were only going to get hired. after the interview she told us there will be a background check and that they would contact us on a hiring decision whether we did or did not get the job. Well it will be going on two weeks on thursday and i still have not heard from them. I am wondering if maybe i should call them?? Hey what much do I have to lose.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a situation where you had to break the ice in a situation?
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Gap (Astoria, NY) in Oct 2011
Interview
Regarding the hiring and interview process, i applied online via the "careers" section of the website www.gapinc.com and within two (2) days i received a call from the hiring manager, to come in for an interview on Thursday of the same week. The interview was relatively easy and somewhat generic/textbook, it was in a group panel format (4 other persons) in the stock/back area of the store. The hiring manager began by giving some background information about the company with respect to its history, past/current owners, and the products that they provided (apparel, footwear accessories). Following, we were asked some questions that i personally render as typical to anyone applying for a position within the retail industry such as:
1. Tell me about yourself, school and work history.
2. Why do you want to work for Gap?
3. Define your idea of good customer service.
4. Tell me about a time when you received or exercised good customer service skills.
Following this, we had somewhat of a role play/selling task which after doing much research is TYPICAL of most Gap interviews. Here, we had to pick a particular outfit (head to toe), explain our choices, and then attempt to sell it to the hiring manager who was acting as a customer. Finally, we proceeded back to the stock area, where she rounded up the interview by discussing work availability, scheduling, and the hours/salary for the position if one was selected.

The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gap (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2011
Interview
Applied online few days later received an email to schedule a interview replied to the email minutes later. Got to the interview 30 minutes early so I browsed the store. Went to the interview spot with six others. Doing name check my name was not on the list but she let me stay and be interviewed. Started off with why do you want to work for Gap. I volunteered first and we continued with different interview questions. She gave us 10 minutes to pick out a outfit and 1 item that you don't like and sale it to the crowd. After that we wrote down the time we were available. I was actually surprised to receive a email offering me the position because after my name wasnt on the list I had the whatever attitude and didnt care if I got it or not.
