I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at H&M in Nov 2011
Interview
I put in an application and was called a few days later for a brief phone interview. The assistant manager asked me about my experience, why I wanted to work for H&M, what my availability was, etc. and after that was over, she scheduled an in-store meeting with the hiring manager/store manager. That interview was a bit more in depth with asking about sales scenarios and how I would handle certain situations but nothing unexpected. The store manager offered me the job right after the interview, it was very straight forward.
