The Gap Interview Questions & Reviews in Canada

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Kitchener, ON (Canada) (took 4+ weeks)

I applied in March or early April via the online application provided at The Gap's website. It was very formal, but I appreciated that it wasn't generic. It was geared toward the position, and made me feel that if I was selected, it would mean that I actually demonstrated something they found appealing. It wasn't that I had submitted my application and they were interviewing me without knowing anything about me. I lost hope almost a month later, until I received a call back from the manager of one of the stores in my area. I came in for an interview which, to my surprise, was unlike any that I'd had before at any other company. It was centered around The Gap experience. What I thought I could get out of The Gap, what I thought The Gap could gain from hiring me. I felt challenged in this interview, in a positive way. It wasn't those typical situational questions or anything. It was great. After the interview, I was told the manager would pass my information on to a higher ranking manager, who would call me back, and that if I didn't hear back within 10 days, to call them. 10 days passed, but I was busy and forgot to call them back. On the 12th day, today, they called me and offered me a position.
