I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Gap (Boston, MA) in Apr 2010
Interview
I walked in one fine day and submitted my resume to the manager, she called me in for a group interview on the spot after going over my resume. Day of the "group interview", for some reason it turned out to be a 1:1 interview. After that I was called in for a second interview with another manager, which lasted less than 20 minutes. I was told I would be contacted after they had spoken with my references. I received a call by the end of the day and I had my orientation a couple of days later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe an interaction with a customer, where you went above and beyond our means to cater to their needs.
Group interview with other candidates with the store manager. Arrive at the store and wait for other candidates. Then interview happens in break room and it lasted roughly about 30-60minutes
It was a group interview of about 10-12 people. If I remember correctly they take you to the back, the stock room, and ask almost everyone the same question. The interview lasted about 30 minutes.
It was very easy, one in person interview with the general manager and then I was accepted! Mainly personality and behavioral questions were asked, and I think enthusiasm on my end helped the most.
