Associate at The Gap

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2010 – Reviewed Jan 20, 2011

Interview Details – The interview was actually very quick and simple. I only had one job previously and it was seasonal but the manager who interviewed me seemed to have made up his mind to hire me before we even spoke. I also managed to be a half hour late and was still hired. He said his main reason was because of my positive attitude and the fact that I smile all the time. (They're big on smiling) He asked a little bit about what I did at my last job but most of it was just explaining what I'd be doing with them and the pay and what the hours would be like.

Interview Question – Why do you think the Gap Card is an important part of the company?   Answer Question

Associate at The Gap

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oct 2010 – Reviewed Dec 15, 2010

Interview Details – You apply and one of the managers contacts you. You interview with him and it can either be in a group setting or a personal setting. Mine was with one other girl. He asks you basic questions like "why do you want to work at the gap? do you have experience in retail?" Then, if he likes you, he'll call you and you have a second interview with the general manager. If he likes you, you get called again and offered the position

I'm probably a "lifer". Great company, it would take something drastic for me to leave.
