The Gap Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – The interview was a group interview. The HR rep explained the pay rate and the job responsibilities. Then a tour of the warehouse was provided. After the tour each applicant was asked to answer seven questions. and then a card was handed out to each applicant. The HR rep then asked each applicant to read and answer each question, including the card that also had a question. The answer to each question did not matter. The HR rep just wanted to ensure that the applicant could follow directions.

Interview Details – Recruited in store, but then the manager forgot to call me, 3 weeks later I call to check up, and she said she forgot, but she wants to do an interview but I was basically guaranteed the job.

Interview Details – After applying online, I was called back within two days to schedule an interview. The person I spoke with was nice and just asked about availability, salary expectations, etc. At the end of the call, I was asked to come in for an interview. I went in to the store two days later for the interview. Turns out that it was a group interview so there was another person who was also applying for the same position and we would be interviewing together. We had to wait around for about 10 minutes past our interview time. Our interviewer (the girl who had called me) didn't seem very friendly in person and made it seem like a hassle to have to stop what she was doing and interview us. We were finally taken to the back room to interview with her and another assistant manager. Honestly, I've been in a lot of interviews and conducted a lot of interviews, so I can say with certainty that they both weren't very professional (gossiping together, not friendly, horrible at phrasing simple questions), which was a surprise. At the end of the interview, we were told that we would hear back in a few days about their decision. I didn't hear back for three weeks, when they finally called and asked me to come in for a second interview. The first interview had turned me off working for the store though and I had already accepted a job somewhere else that had a much more efficient and positive interview process.

Reason for Declining – I didn't like the interview process and the managers weren't as professional or friendly as I would have liked.

Interview Details – Submitted application online then received a phone call for an interview a week later. Interview was at the store. Very easy and informal interview.

Negotiation Details – none they just determine a wage based on your experience.

Interview Details – Mainly asked situational and personality questions - just as your average sales position interview.
- Name a time where you had to lead a team
- Name a time where you had to work in a team
- What qualities do you possess that will help you in this job?

Interview Details – Applied online. Called to interview after a few weeks. Really nice manager who asked basic questions but stated that I did not have enough experience and instead recommended me to the Old Navy manager.

Interview Details – I had applied in December 2012 but received a phone call March 18 asking if I was still looking for a job. I confirmed and they set me up for an interview the next day. I didn't know it was a group interview till I got there but it was very simple! I was the youngest of the group, being 16 years old. Th questions were pretty straightforward 'Why do you want to work here?' 'What kind of style do we promote?' etc. I acted very enthusiastic and smiled a lot, also making eye contact! I got a call back two hours after that interview asking me to come in the next day to work out a schedule!

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.

Interview Details – As some people have mentioned, first round of interviews were done in groups. I got a call a few days later for a one-on-one interview. Did some research about the company and just acted outgoing in the interview. Make sure you smile a lot during the interview AND ask questions at the end.
