Interviewed Apr 2008 in Charlottesville, VA (took a day)
It was a standard interview. 1:1 interview with the hiring manager. He asked basic questions about my past work experiences. The interview was only about 30 minutes long. He asked other behavioral questions and went into detail about the company and of the specific job position.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 days)
There was an initial interview where the assistant manager asked a list of questions provided by Gap Inc., which were based on interpersonal and customer relations. The second interview was with the store manager and much more casual--just to know each other.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Charlotte, NC (took 1 week)
For a retail store that pays 8 dollars an hour the interview process seemed a bit much and not very proffesional. They kept me waiting for over an hour and the whole interview was about 15 minutes. They asked me a mistake I had made and hoe i rectified it and about a situation that i had where I did more than was expected of me. The interviewer was not an easy person to talk to and I felt uncomfortable as I was interviewed in the middle of the mall.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Phila, PA (took 3 days)
You must be conscious of how you're dressed. The interview I attended was a group interview with about 8 other candidates. We were asked typical interview questions. We were told we'd be contacted within two days to be informed if an offer was extended to us. There was no second interview.

Interviewed May 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 days)
The Gap Inc. interview is pretty easy. You just need to know that they are looking for "excellent customer service experiences." You'll go to a group interview first. They will ask you about your "best customer service experiences" and worst. If you sound enthusiastic, communicate with the other interviewees, and give your best customer service you will be asked to the personal interview. In the personal interview they will ask you pretty much the same questions... plus "why Banana Republic?"

The pay is pretty awful. Starts out at $8.75 per hour. Yuck

Interviewed Nov 2009 in North Wales, PA (took 2 days)
After filling out the online application, I got a call from the hiring manager to set up a time when we could meet. He was very friendly, and the interview was a breeze. It was mostly him talking about what the job was like, how things worked there, and company policy stuff. The second interview was with the general manager. It was harder since it had more personal questions, for example "if you saw your supervisor stealing what would you do" or "tell me what you think excellent customer service is" or "why do you like banana republic." I ended up getting the job probably because they were desperate for seasonal help, not because I was qualified in any way (no work experience).
