I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at H&M (Washington, DC) in Aug 2009
Interview
I applied in person and was called in for an interview within a weeks time. It was a group interview were they had us doing different activities to see how much of a team player we was. About a week after that I was called for a second interview by the in store HR Manager, we sat in a fitting room. The interview was fast and simple, a couple days later I got the call stating that I had gotten the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When I was asked about visual, I was new to retail and new nothing about visuals at the time.
Engaging and interactive, having opportunity to engage with managers and customers at the same time. Actual sit down interviews were fairly brief/in groups with opportunity to shadow during business hours.
"The interview process went smoothly and I felt confident in my answers. I made sure to mention my customer service experience and I felt I connected well with both the interviewers and the other candidates in the group."
Asked general questions about the company, what I liked etc. Also asked when I worked in a team/examples of previous times I showed teamwork. Make sure to do research on company!
