DIRECTIONS: READ AND TELL.
-It was in 2007, when I heard from a friend that there is a fashion retailer called
H&M. I was looking for a room to grow and a happy working environment. Thus,
submitted my application on the H&M official website. At the beginning, I was a
Full Time Sales Advisor at the accessories department. Shortly after joining, I was
given the opportunity to provide support for a new store opening; 9 months later,
became the Department Manager at the kid's and ladies departments of the said
organization. 1

"I joined H&M in 2007, as a part-time Sales Advisor while studying in the
university. Upon graduation, I became as full-time Sales Advisor, and after
approximately 6 months, I seized an opportunity to become a Cash Office
Responsible. During this time, I had been very honest with my manager about my
wish to be able to work abroad. Shortly after this, invitations to support the store
opening in Japan and Turkey were offered to me. My advice is to always speak out
because there is so many opportunities at H&M.
