Experiences at Gap

I started working at Gap while attending high school and college, so the first thing you want to have working at Gap is to have a positive outlook and personable approach where people feel comfortable to ask for assistance. In retail, have to have a good personality, dress for the job, and be able to answer questions on the fly, or quickly find a solution. Thats what I learned from the Gap, and it aided my overall job growth for the future...

I did what I was taught to do with the training I received and added a little of myself to make it part of me, so I would believe in all the work I gave back to the Company.

Be yourself, honest, Love the product/company that you will sell and investing time in
and also you need a lot of energy.

Availability and having a since of humor.
