Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at H&M (London, England) in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied online and I received a call after two days where they invited me for an interview in the Oxford Circus store (that was the first stage of the process).
The interview was with two really nice and friendly ladies,everything was very unformal, and they basically asked me questions about myself and my past jobs like : '' Tell me something about your role in your previous job'' . The interview lasted about 20 minutes.
I received a call that I passed the interview after 1 week and they invited me for the second and last stage of the process that was a trial shift in a store.
I went to the shop where I spent 2 hours on the shopfloor and in the fitting rooms,they didn't asked me any questions at all . What they wanted to see was a friendly and enthusiastic person both with customers and colleagues.
At the end of the shift the manager told me that I was going to have the job but I had to wait for a call to confirm that.I received the call after 4 days.

Question 1
Tell me how your previous experiences could help you to work in H&M
It was a group interview. They asked us about fashion and what we know about H&M and it’s background. We also had a task in groups to come up with good answers to the questions given, we also had to present.
It was a group interview, we did group tasks like styling people for different occasions and answering . It was pretty focused on the company values and if you have a love for fashion.

Question 1
Style a customer who came in looking for an outfit for a job interview, their personal style is 'streetwear'
It was a group interview, about 8 of us. We had to basically work together on different scenarios and answer the questions the manager asked us. She also put us on the spot and individually asked us questions. I got 'who inspires you the most.'
