Interview
I applied online and received a phone call inviting me to come to the group interview a few days later. My clothes weren't from Old Navy, and I wore a dress with a cardigan. There were five of us at the group interview, and we introduced ourselves with a fun fact. Then we were asked about what we know about Old Navy (do your research on the website!) and given some background information. We were told to bring an item to "show and tell." In Old Navy, there's a bouncy ball dispenser and the manager pulled out one of those balls during the interview. We took turns passing the ball around and imagining what happens when the ball hits the floor. At the end, we balanced cookies on our foreheads while using our faces to get it into our mouths without dropping the cookie or using our hands. So difficult! Overall, it was a very unique interview process and very laid back. They're really looking for fun, friendly, and approchable people! Within an hour after the interview, I received a call inviting me to a second interview the following day. I really love the management there and enjoyed the hiring process. At the second interview, we talked about my resume, availability, and why I would be a good fit for Old Navy. At the end I was offered a job and accepted.

Interview
I applied online and got a call back a few days later. went in for interview a few days later. Pretty normal interview process. Generic questions. " where do you see yourself in 5 years?" " Have you ever worked retail before"

Interview
First half was pretty run-of-the-mill...talking with the store manager in the break room. She asked some interesting questions, and it felt conversational and relaxed, which was nice. She seemed genuinely interested in my background (art) and then came up with questions using that information about myself. My favorite one was something along the lines of "Tell me about a time that you used your creativity to help someone out with a problem they were having."
Second half was building a full outfit you would sell to a customer and then try and "sell it" to the person interviewing you. Tip: build something that can be "versatile" and wearable in any season, but also "mix-and-matchable" if desired. Make it simple and cute, always add an accessory from Bee-line (their jewelry collection) so they know you really looked around.

Question 1
They were all pretty laid-back, but I recommend coming in prepared to talk about your interests and how those interests play a role in your work ethic...
