Application
I interviewed at H&M
Interview
A group interview in their assessment center with about 15 girls overall present and we had to do several different activities to clear the interview.
3 managers were present for the interview.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at H&M (Sídney) in May 2017
Interview
It was a group interview with about 7-8 people. Before walking in, our group used the opportunity to talk to each other and become acquainted, that way the interview became less nerve-wracking for all of us. First, we had to watch a video about H&M and comment on it as a group. Then we sat in a circle and discussed various scenarios as a group and how we would solve them if there were no managers present at the store. The last stage was more practical. We had to set up a mini store and had 5 minutes to work as a team to set up a store front, placing clothes on the front table by following an outfit guide they gave us and placing clothes on railings at the back.
All in all, it was a very great experience. It was my first time doing a group interview so I didn't know what to expect, but it was a lot less nerve-wracking than I thought.

Question 1
What can you do to maximise the customer's experience in the store?
The store is closing in 5 minutes, you have 5 rails of clothing to sort out, but customers walked in asking for help with sizes and styling. What do you do?
