I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at H&M (Portland, OR) in Jun 2014
Interview
3 interviews, first is over the phone. The last two involve different managers who basically ask the same questions but just want to get an idea of who you are.
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.
