Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Being interviewed by H&M is like being interviewed for highschool cheerleading. They do not check references, they do not ask job related questions, we spoke mostly of my Philosophy degree, and what my thesis paper was on. I was asked if I was left handed (and while working their realized there was an uncanny amount of left handed "creative" employees). Both being interviewed at H&M, enjoying working at H&M, and advancing at H&M are all dependent on how well you manage to succeed in a popularity contest. The harder you try to be unique (you know, the kind of person who tries so hard to be different they are the biggest followers of all....) the better off you will be....as fabricated pseudo individualism is what this company is based on. Don't get me wrong, I had a great experience working here, but I knew how to play their games, many others had far less enjoyable experiences.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 4 months)
I applied on line and was replied to by an recruitment company. After about a month I was contacted by them to be interviewed by H&M recruiters. An appointment was set up at the recruitment office. I was asked standard interview questions. how did I handle situations with my co workers? What was my work availability? Then a couple of months later I was called again for another interview. Same questions different people. then I was called for a group interview and put into different situations. I was eventually hired

Interviewed May 2010 (took 4 weeks)
I initialy completed an online application, from there i was interviewed by phone, by a "hiring specialist" Then I had a interview with the store manager, and then a interview with the district manager. this took about 4 weeks for them to pull it all together. to long in my opinion, but other companys I was interviewing with also seem to be just as slack!

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 3 weeks)
The interview process consisted of three interviews; 1 phone interview and two one
on one interviews. The company was very quick in response from everything from filling
out the application online to following up on interviews. I would suggest knowing
your sales numbers and figures if you are in a similar job before you go on the interview.

you go through a psych test with other canidates to prove,teamwork,intelligence,level of stress,and competitive and fair treatment of others needs to be demonstrated to show integrity, character, and leadership qualities. It was the most shocking and long test but it is definately effective.
