      Merchandising Manager Interview

      24 Feb 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Old Navy (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2012

      Interview

      Received a token interview for the Merchandising Manager position at the flagship store in downtown San Francisco. I knew my chances weren't good right away when the interviewer (store manager?) rarely made eye contact and seemed distracted by what was going on around him. (The interview was conducted on the sales floor). He really didn't register much of anything I was saying in the duration, because many of his follow up questions I had answered in my previous responses. In fact, the only time he was engaging or seemed interested at all, was when I asked him about himself at the end of the interview. He spoke of moving to San Francisco recently from the east coast and how expensive it was comparatively. I assume, like some companies, the interview was just a formality and they probably have internal candidates already lined up for the position. I just hope in the future they can get people to "fake" it better and not make the process so awkward.

      Anonymous employee
      Langhorne, PA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Old Navy (Langhorne, PA)

      Interview

      Sent in a resume based on a job posting. Received a call to set up an interview within 1 week. Met with regional manager at the regional office, interviewed for 1 hour. I was offered the position the following day and started training at a training store 2 weeks later. The store I was hired for wasn't open yet when I was hired.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Experience in retail, fashion? Why was I looking for change? Why Old Navy? Leadership abilities? Mostly situational questions in regards to merchandising, leading, development, etc. Not that difficult. It was also years ago, when the company was growing at an incredible rate and stores were opening constantly.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Old Navy in Sept 2015

      Interview

      Had 2 interviews with 2 different store managers. First one was with the store manager of the store I applied to and the second was with a different store manager of another store. Both were nice and spent some of the time telling me what would be involved with the job. Otherwise I got asked typical questions. One question was what is your favourite movie! Which I found funny.
