I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at H&M (New York, NY) in Jul 2014
Interview
My interview process was pretty quick, I had applied online but because I brought my resume in person I basically went through my pre screening that day and was called back in for a group session the next day. The group session was basically testing you on how well you could work as a team, and also about your communication skills. It was finished at 5:00pm, I was called back at 6:30 and asked to come in the Monday for a background check release form. I was then called the Thursday and asked to come in for a interview at the home store on friday, that day was basically my offer. The recruiting manager offered me $12.00 because of my experience, and asked if I could come in for orientation the following day. My process took roughly 2weeks faster than a lot of people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For the pre screening it was basic questions. 'I see you have a lot of retail experience so why H&M'
'Can you work in a fast paced environment?' Stuff like that
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!
