Called in for an interview maybe a week after I applied. The interview process was fairly easy. The manager was nice and the environment was very welcoming. The interview lasted maybe 10 minutes. Was called back in approximately less than a week later to discuss pay. Was hired on spot after negotiation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very easy. Basic questions. Tell me about yourself. What would you do in this situation?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Old Navy (Millbury, MA)
Interview
In order to submit a resume you must go to the Gapinc.com website to careers and submit a resume. Then you have to take a small assessment which is very easy (what kind of pants are these?) After about 2 weeks the resumes have made it from corporate down to the particular store you applied to. If the hiring/store manager approves and they need positions filled then they will give you a call and set up a time for a one-on-one interview.
Dress in something casual but do not have any brand names visible on your items of clothing. Make sure everything is neat and you look presentable. You then meet a manager who will take you around the store and discuss the goals of Old Navy and gauge your personality to see if you are a good fit. In my interview the manager made me greet customers and gave me one of the Old Navy shopping bags to see if I could get a customer to use it. I was successful in all fronts; however, if you aren't it doesn't jeopardize your interview too much. It's all about how you react to it; just keep smiling and you're all set.
If they liked you enough in that interview then they will call you back and interview you with another manager in the back-room/office. They ask you pretty straightforward questions, much like the ones in the online assessment. Most are common sense and others have to do with your personal sense of style. The rest of the questions deal with how you would act in certain situations: another associate is rude to a customer, another associate is stealing...etc.
Depending on how you do they will call you back within a couple of days. You go back along with a couple of other associates and they do all of the training. Overall it is one of the easiest interview experiences.

Question 1
The most difficult question, at the time, was when they had asked me, "What would you do if you noticed that an associate is rude when dealing with a customer?".
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Old Navy in May 2010
Interview
-Applied within a few years ago. Was asked to fill out an application online and was then called by the Service and Training Manager to come in to the store for an interview. Nothing was really specific, so I wore clothes sold at Old Navy and was prepared with a resume. Upon arrival I waited for the manager and was then taken to a casual spot in the store and asked questions. Typical interview questions, some specific to retail. I was then asked to put together an outfit, to show I had fashion sense. After this interview I was initially hired. It was an easy process.

Question 1
-What would you do if you saw a customer stealing? (I had no job experience at the time so I was not sure!)
