I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Gap (Kansas City, MO) in Jun 2013
Interview
I came into my local Gap Factory store and asked an associate if they were hiring. She introduced me to the store manager, who told me to fill out an application online and she would call me back in the next few days. I got a call less than 48 hours later, and had an interview scheduled for the next day. It was a group interview with around 12 other people, and lasted a little over an hour long. I got a call a few days later from my manager, offering me a part time position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about how you've dealt with unhappy customers/a sticky situation in the past.
Group interview with other candidates with the store manager. Arrive at the store and wait for other candidates. Then interview happens in break room and it lasted roughly about 30-60minutes
It was a group interview of about 10-12 people. If I remember correctly they take you to the back, the stock room, and ask almost everyone the same question. The interview lasted about 30 minutes.
It was very easy, one in person interview with the general manager and then I was accepted! Mainly personality and behavioral questions were asked, and I think enthusiasm on my end helped the most.
