      Sales Associate Interview

      Mar 3, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Portland, OR
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gap (Portland, OR) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      I went & asked the manager at Gap outlet in-person if she was hiring. She said yes, so I went home I applied about 3 days later. I gave her a call the morning I applied, telling her to let her know, referencing that we'd met in-person, etc. She said she'd try to get me into an interview the next week, but she never called me back. So I called for the 2nd time, asked her about my application & why no call-back, she said she'd try to get me in again the coming week. I was surprised when she actually kept her word the second time around & called me that Tuesday. She asked if I'd prefer interview on Wednesday or Saturday (valentines day) & asked me to come in at 2. I chose Saturday so I'd have more time to prepare. The interview was supposed to be a group one. But it was only me and one other girl, the other person never showed up. There were 2 interviewers, one young dude one young lady. All in all it was pretty easy. The hardest part was reviewing the Gap card flash cards & trying to sell it to the lady interviewer at the end. Mainly bc I've never done that before, I was trying to draw on how I see other cashier sell cards but I think I did ok. Maybe a bit timid. We also picked out surprise date night outfits beforehand, I chose the lady's, the other girl interviewee chose the guy's outfit. Lastly, I wasn't too surprised to be denied in the email I got a couple days later because the other girl I was being interview with worked at Nordstrom previously. I'm a high schoolar with no retail experience what so ever. So she kept talking about her past job at Nordstrom & I could only talk about fellow volunteers I worked with or my favorite teacher, instead of favorite boss /:

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      “Name & your favorite summer thing to do?” “Talk about your favorite teacher or boss and what made them your favorite?” “Do you think a Team goal or a Single, personal goal is more important? Like which would you pick and why?” “Describe a time where you dealt with an uncomfortable event?” “What about a time where you didn’t agree with the rules but followed them anyway? It doesn’t have to be anything super serious, it could be the dress code you had to wear to work, etc” “Tell me about a time where you received feedback from a coworker?” “Tell me about about a time you received great customer service?” “Do you have any questions for us?”

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Gap

      Interview

      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.
