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.
Interview questions [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".
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Sell me your outfit. (Role-Play exercise where we were to describe our outfit, where you would find it being worn, and who you would find wearing it.)
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Gap in Oct 2009
Interview
Your basic interview questions...How would you deal with a difficult customer? I answered a few questions and was promptly asked if I would stay and interview with the store manager. I was asked what were some of my strong points and what would I improve on. I was asked if I had a flexible schedule. Once you apply on line and answer the questions online, the interview goes fairly smooth. Availability and flexability are the most important things for the Gap, bring a smile and a good attitude and you should get hired. Plus, 50% off Gap and Banana Republic.

Question 1
N/A but I would have to say, What is your availability?
