I applied online. I interviewed at Old Navy (Austin, TX) in Oct 2010
Interview
I applied online. You have to take a test - which was pretty simple and basic. Multiple choice. It had questions like: What would you do if you saw another employee stealing. What is wrong with this picture - picture with a table of unfolded shirts, messed up mannequins, etc.
I got a call back the same week to schedule and interview.
The interview was one-on-one with a manager in the office. She asked basic questions:
Where have you worked before? Why do you want to work here? How do you think your past work applies to this job?
She was looking off a sheet of questions that Old Navy supplies her to ask. She was very positive about our interview and reschedule me then for a second interview with the store manager.
Interview with the store manager was pretty quick. Basic tell me about yourself. Then had me do a mock pitching of an old navy card to a customer. He let me look at the old navy card cheat sheet first. I didn't do a great job at remembering the card details it but I spoke clearly and didn't stop after the 'customer' said no the first time. Then he offered me the job!
Easy group interview. Simple questions about fashion, even had to style some outfits. Show up enthusiastic and everything will go well. Be excited and eager to help people + team mates
Interview was very professional and a portion was an introduction to the job’s tasks, which I thought was very helpful. Interview was in store and on the sales floor. Interviewer was very personable and friendly.
