      Sales Associate Interview

      Sep 29, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Gap in Jan 2017

      Interview

      Applied online on Monday, got a call on Tuesday asking if I can come in for an interview on Friday. 2 hours later I got the job!! The interview itself was soooo good. It was more of a casual conversation than an interview. What I loved was that they care about people’s beliefs and background etc. I’m a Muslim hijabi and the guy asked if I would like to take a mini break for prayer and that really made me happy. Just goes to show people do care about others.
