Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)

It was a Job Fair at an Employment Centre. I arrived there around 10:45 am. and my group was interviewed at 2:00 pm. The interview lasted 1h15" with a group of 11 people. At the end of the interview we were oriented to stay in line in front of another room and in 5 minutes they gave us a "Yes", "No" or "Maybe". The interviewer seemed to be tired, and he mentioned he had already interviewed around 250 people in the last few days. There were 2 assistant managers assisting him in the process. We were asked to be dressed "professionaly" but they were in jeans and the 2 assistants were in plain shirt and rolled-up jeans, which made me feel I was over dressed. I noticed some candidates in suits and a few in jeans, which made the environment look a bit contraditory. The overall impression was the manager was tired, sometimes arrogant and rushy. He was being kind of obvious about the ones he liked and the ones he didn't.

Interviewed Jan 2007 (took a day)

One of the most important things when interviewing for any job, even a stock position at a retail store, is to dress like you mean business.
My interview process started by having a friend who worked there give me an introduction. Telling the manager who I was, what I was like, and explaining my qualifications. Then I described myself in more detail, told her my ambitions, and explained my reason for wanting to work at The Gap. She asked me various questions about myself to follow up, alot of personal questions to gauge what kind of person I was. Honest answers seem to work best.

"Why do you want to work at The Gap?"

Answer Question

Negotiation Details

Very brief. It was more of a "I'll hire you at this wage." At the time I was unsure what starting wages should be for a position like that, and had no clue how to negotiate.
