I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at H&M (Leicester, England) in Sep 2021
Interview
Interview types vary depending on if you're full or part time and when in the year you will be joining the team, in my case I joined as a full-time sale associate in September and was asked to prepare two presentations for my interview- one about what I knew about the company and another on myself and why I wanted to work for them. The interview was pretty laid back and the interviewer was a department manager at the store who was very nice and seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say.
Short and snappy. Very easy process and straightforward and very friendly. Phone call and in person interview with hiring manager. decided to decline because I had another offer at a different company.
The interview process was straightforward. I first completed a phone interview, followed by an in-person interview. The questions focused on my work experience, personal style, and how I would fit the role overall.
I interviewed at H&M (Bletchley, England) in Jul 2026
Interview
In the group interview, the people seemed very nervous and anxious throughout. We did some tasks, including answering questions that required presentation and picking clothes from the menswear for different vague scenarios.
