I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Gap (Toronto, ON) in May 2011
Interview
Called a few days after handing in my resume in store. Was asked to come in for an interview. Group interview with about 10 other people. Went around and introduced ourselves. Then the interviewing manager asked us a couple of situational questions. Multiple people could answer the question, if you didn't have an answer, you didn't have to answer all the questions. Was called a few days afterwards, after a reference check, and was given an offer for sales associate position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if you were unable to find an item a customer is looking for?
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.
