I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at H&M (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2012
Interview
Dropped my resume at the store when it was less busy. Talked with the manager for a couple of minutes, just about my background, experience, why I wanted to work for H&M, andmy availability. He scheduled me a formal interview for tomorrow. Official interview went well. Asked more basic questions along with some situational questions. The day after, I got a job offer via phone.
I applied online. I interviewed at H&M (Fairfax, VA)
Interview
Great process and team, connecting with everyone felt very easy. I had some behavioral questions and some about my experience. Ultimately they decided to move forward with someone else. I would recommend giving it a try.
Very easy interview with one other person who applied. Asked about how you might handle a difficult customer, who you are, etc. Second interview was basically just the job offer and signing papers.

Question 1
How would you handle a difficult customer? What is one thing you noticed in our store that you would improve?
It's a group interview and in mine there were x4 other people. We introduced ourselves and got split into teams to complete a task on their values. Then we were split into different teams and were given a hypothetical customer who wanted help with their outfit - we had to create an outfit accordingly therefore roamed around the store to find clothing items that fit the brief. Afterwards, we explained why we chose those clothes and then were asked x2 competency-based questions.
