I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Old Navy in Sep 2015
Interview
Had 2 interviews with 2 different store managers. First one was with the store manager of the store I applied to and the second was with a different store manager of another store. Both were nice and spent some of the time telling me what would be involved with the job. Otherwise I got asked typical questions. One question was what is your favourite movie! Which I found funny.
