I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at H&M (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Received a call from hiring manager to come in for interview. Because of the connection issues it was really hard to understand him on the phone.
Arrived on time and have been waiting for 15min because manager was in another meeting. I was interviewed by supervisor in training and the manager. First they talked about themselves a little bit and company culture. Then asked me questions. Whole interview was about 22 min.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions:
- Tell me your pronounces (I was thrown off by this question bc I am from the country where this questions are not asked on interview and in US I have never been asked this question on the interviews before. I think because I didn't answered immediately they were dissapointed and I think it's the main reason I didn't get offer)
- Tell me about yourself
- Why do you want to work for H&M?

During mass-recruitment period, interview was conducted in a team-role play kind of direction. Felt that they were observing how we interact and work together in a team despite everyone being relatively unknown with each other.
