the interview process was easy. The manager was easy going and friendly. I felt at ease answering questions, which is hard to do in any job interview. Then I was called and asked to come in for training, which was a series of videos, for which I got paid. I signed papers and filled out tax forms. Then the next shift I was shown around the store and trained in how to keep the store neat while greeting customers and offering help. The next couple of shifts I was trained on cash register.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Old Navy (Louisville, KY) in Nov 2013
Interview
Submitted online, then called in for interview. Hired within 2 days time and started after 9 days. Between the hire date and actually starting my shift was the required training. They had a group attend in the evening and we basically watched rather outdated videos. I felt they did not address how to attend to customers, customers questions or where to direct them. Upon my first day of work I learned quickly that my job position was not what I felt they had hired me for. Even after I expressed my desire to work on store displays with my creative talents, it was never followed through my management.
I applied two weeks before receiving a phone call with a brief phone interview with questions listed below. I was totally unprepared for it/wasn't expecting it. She then invited my to attend a group interview. There were two other people there. She had us gather items around the store and then made us tell her why they carried those items. I feel like this went really well. She said she'd call us back within a couple of days. Still hasn't called.
