I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Old Navy (Jacksonville, FL) in Jul 2014
Interview
You have to follow up a lot after you interview, but once you interview it's pretty easy. At the first interview, you're with a group, and they treat it like a getting to know you session. It's really casual and low key, and it's the questions are really easy. The second interview is more traditional; you're alone with the manager. My interviewer was okay, she didn't ask any off the wall questions and she basically told me in the interview I got hired. Just act energetic, happy, professional, and have a good availability. Within a week and a half I started training. During the first couple weeks the hours SUCK. Especially seasonal, you start at around 5 hours.

Interview
I applied online and got a call a few days later. I had a brief phone interview in which the manager asked a few questions about my availability, why I like Old Navy, and what makes me awesome.
The manager asked me to come in a few days later for a group interview. I was nervous at first, since I have never been to a group interview before. But, it turned out to be pretty fun. The managers told us about the company and themselves. Then, we went around the group (there were 7 of us) and introduced ourselves and said a few facts about ourselves. Then we rolled a die and had to build an outfit. I rolled the die and got the super skinny jeans. We had to build an outfit that someone could wear to an interview. I picked a business style jacket, a patterned shirt and blue accessories. We had to share our outfit with the group and the managers. Then, we returned our items and a different manager came and asked us questions. These questions were mainly about explaining a time when you had to be a group leader or a time when you had a challenging situation. The questions were pretty easy. After my interview, I got a call later that day and accepted the offer.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Old Navy
Interview
The hiring process was unique, they start off with a game. Mine was to pull a celebrity name out of a hat that had a situation "Beyonce going to the park." Then you have to go out into the store and find an outfit that works for that celebrity and situation. They do this to see product knowledge and show your personality. For instance one person got "Chris Brown running from the police." He got a hat, sunglasses, a large coat and a package of toy mustaches.
After the game, everyone will follow one manager as you all recover (fold clothes, pick up around the store,) talking about nothing. Again, they're gauging your willingness to help, propensity to follow direction, and personality. The other manager will go to the office and call you in one by one. They ask the standard hiring questions.
