Old Navy interview questions

I applied online and got a call from an upbeat associate named Matt. He was very friendly and didn't make me feel uncomfortable during the short 5 minute phone interview upon which he offered me to come in for an audition (group interview). The group interview was fun and different. Matt and several other employees were there along with the manager, Jeff, who was very nice too. We played the toilet paper game where we took as much toilet paper as needed and then for each piece we had to say one thing about ourselves. Then the manager asked us the typical questions. After that, we shared the object we thought represented us most. Matt had us play charades and then he paired us up and gave us a scenario for an outfit. We went through the store and chose different pieces to bring back and sell to the manager.

I spoke with the hiring manager, she told me to apply online, I followed up, she told me she'd call me, I waited...I walked in again to speak with her, and finally got an interview. It took a lot of persistence for me to finally get an interview. When I did, I was in a group with five other girls, and there were three managers interviewing the six of us. It was a very competitive process, each of us fighting to impress the managers (as respectfully as possible). The showed favoritism to one of the girls who was wearing all Old Navy clothes. She ended up getting the job. The employees fit the stereotype of catty retail salespeople to a T. They really value those who suck up to them, at least at the store that I applied to. At the beginning of the interview, we also had to do a scavenger hunt, pick three items, and then try to sell them to the managers. There was a lot of role playing, so be very confident, and practicing with a friend before is highly recommended! I was the only one who dressed professionally, and it didn't help my cause. They complimented two of the other girls' appearances and they were wearing jeans, so I think wearing Old Navy clothes to the interview is a good way to go.
