Colloquio
I applied online for a VM position and was contacted a few days later by the regional VM manager, who invited me in for an interview, despite the propmptly reply she missed my message stating that I was free, she send me another email the following day where she apologised about not getting back to me, then told me to wait for a call for the Visual manager from my local store.
Sure enough she called me the day after asking me to go in to meet her.
The whole process was pretty fast, it took around two weeks, the visual manager was really friendly and polite, she asked me lots of questions regarding my knowledge of H&M and hypothetical scenarios in VMing,
After that they called me in a second time, and asked me to pick 3 outfits for 3 different H&M customers, they gave me 45 minutes of time, then I presented them and received feedback about my way of presenting and the outfits themselves.
After that the manager told me she'd let me know by "Friday" (had the shopfloor test on Wednesday)
And she called me up and offered me the job.
All in all it was a very nice experience, which I didn't expect because I tried to apply for H&M for a long time, always ending up without an interview, so I'm pretty happy and I'm gonna start my new job on Monday

Pretty straightforward interview with a welcoming team.
Store manager asked me about my experience and tried to get to know me.
Quite transparent about role and requirements and they give feedback which is really good.

Colloquio
Es wirkte sehr so, als sei die Entscheidung gegen mich bei der Managerin schon vorher fest gewesen und die Stimmung war einfach insgesamt seltsam. Mir wurde direkt zu Beginn gesagt, ich hätte für die Stelle noch nicht genug Erfahrung im VM und an dieser Meinung konnte ich auch mit keinem noch so tollen, wirklich engagierten Interview mehr etwas ändern. Meine sämtlichen Erfahrungen waren natürlich vorher in dem CV und Portfolio gelistet, auf dessen Grundlage ich auch eingeladen wurde. Für mich war dieses IV also leider eine reine Zeitverschwendung.
Ich arbeite nun in einer höheren Position für ein anderes Unternehmen welches mich, mein Studium und meine Skills sehr wertschätzt und bin letztendlich froh über diesen Ausgang. Vielleicht wurde hier einfach nicht richtig zwischen externer HR und Store Management (Hamburg, Flagship) kommuniziert. Die anderen Mitarbeiter:innen, die ich in meiner 15 minütigen Wartezeit auf den Termin kennenlernen konnte, waren dafür aber wirklich super freundlich und wirkten auch soweit zufrieden.
Two interviews one in person and one online with area VM. Also a practical in person interview to do with the role - pick an outfit for a certain occasion or make up a trend based on a mood board
