Thx for the website but i tried it out and it asked to much questions so im like screw it. I hope you get the job and my advice is dont goof around to much becuase going to work is a privelege and i learned that the hard way.

My best friend worked at the Gap while we studied and she told me that all first interviews are peer interviews, and that they will call the three references they asked you to list. If they like you based on the first impression, they will call you in for a personal interview she said. There is trainings and in-services she says you have to attend throughout the year. Also, when she worked there, her commision wasn't on her paycheque. Rather, it was accumulated in an account, that was to be used to buy their clothes to wear at work. Don't know if that's the same experience as other Gap employees here...

Sooo, I got the job! lol.

They gave me a good wage which corresponded really well with my experience and what I was hoping for, so I'm excited. Thanks so much for all of the advice everyone.

Good luck to anyone that aspires to work at Gap. My advice is to apply constantly on the website. I sent a new application in almost everyday, althought, I don't think it made a difference lol.

During the interview, (since it's in most cases a group interview) I recommend being very personable, don't stay directly in business interview mode throuhgout, but rather be friendly and smile and stuff when you're telling your story. They look to see how you'll be with their customers, but more so to see if you'll mesh well with their team, so be nice, say bye to everyone, things like that. I believe they hire based on initiative to want to do your best job in their store, rather than just experience.

Thanks again you guys!

That's interesting. I'm assuming she worked there a while ago, since they don't do the comission thing anymore.

lol, the questions aren't that long in comparison to the Old Navy questions! Oh my gosh, THOSE are long. This one is only like 15 minutes!

Thanks for the advice. Don't worry, I've been told I work too hard from many people, so goofing off will definitely not be a problem lol.

Good luck with everything. Finish the questions! lol

Congrats in getting your job at GAP. One thing I can tell you is not to spend all your money on your GF, trust me I did that and while it was fun at the time, it now seems stupid.
Thx for the advice but I just work at Uncles Mechanic shop now.
Good Luck.

lmao, by GF did you mean girlfriend? Because I'm a girl, haha...

I definitely will not be spending ALL of my money on my boyfriend. I've seen couples do that. Not my cup of tea.

My Bad, I never knew your were a female.
