Retail Management Program at The Gap
No Offer – Reviewed Mar 14, 2013
Interview Details –
I applied online and received an initial phone screen. The phone screen was a mix of behavioral and retail questions. After passing the phone screen, I was given instructions for creating a presentation that I had to deliver to an HR contracter over Skype. This was kind of jarring for me because I've never had to do a presentation over Skype before. Usually companies the size of Gap Inc. will fly out candidates for in-person presentations, so this made Gap seem a little cheap.
Anyway, the Skype interview took place about a week after I received the initial instructions. I was given 15 minutes to present, after which the interviewer asked me a series of questions based on my presentation. The interviewer didn't have any criticisms and said that she enjoyed my presentation, but I did not move onto the next round.

Manager Customer Service at The Gap
No Offer – Interviewed in McAllen, TX Jul 2009 – Reviewed Nov 30, 2012
Interview Details – I arrived 5 minutes early and it took her like 10 miutes to start interviewing me. She started asking me about my studies and my reasons to work in the company. It all went really well, the only problem was that I was very quiet. I should have started asking questions about the company and their plans to grow in the near future.

Seasonal Cashier at The Gap
No Offer – Interviewed in Vacaville, CA Oct 2012 – Reviewed Oct 17, 2012
Interview Details – Applied online and received a call a week later for an interview. It was a group interview that involved only a couple of candidates (including myself) and the employer. What caught me off guard was the interviewer herself. She was in her early 20s, been in the company for three years and she was the Assistant Store Manager. Promotion runs fast. But anyway, the process took about half an hour but it seemed shorter than that. We were given the basic retail questions.

Interview Details – Filled out an application and was phoned to set up a face-to-face interview within the week. Interview was conducted on sales floor, which I thought was very strange and somewhat unprofessional. Interviewer was an assistant manager who looked like he couldn't care less about his job, automatic turn-off, didn't want to work there anymore
