      Department Manager Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Nicosia, Nicosia
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at H&M (Nicosia, Nicosia) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      I applied through a recruitment center. The process took about 2 weeks after i apllied. The first stage is a phone interview were they basically want to know briefly your work experience, the position you are interested in and a brief discussion about your salary expectations. About one week later they've contacted me about an interview with the hr manager and two people from the recruitment center but they did not participate in the interview, they were just taking notes.The interview took 30-40 minutes and they want to test your knowledge on being a manager, what exactly did you do in your previous job, how many people did you supervise, what tools did you use ( reports etc) and the reason you want to leave or left your previous job. They also ask about your visual knowledge on knowing how to set up a department. After the interview was finished they asked me if i was ok to participate in a group assessment. One week later i went in the assessment with 5 other people were basically they want to test how well you are interrupting with other people. we had 5 exercises, 3 of them were discussions within the group, were they wanted to test whether you are a team player or not. In the last exercise we had to give wach other feedback based on the hour we spend together and we had to give each other two positive and two negative comments regarding our performance. After the assesment was over they interviewed each of us asking us about our opinion about the assessment, whether we did well or not and who we would suggest from our group to be hired. Finally about our salary expectations. Hope this was helpful :)
