H&M Retail Seasonal Sales Advisor

Company Description

This is H&M. Together we make it possible.

The word “Advisor” is pretty deliberate… Plenty of places focus on selling clothes, but helping people understand their personal style is what sets H&M apart. In the fast-paced and exciting world of retail, our Sales Advisors are there to ensure that our customers enjoy a fantastic shopping experience. That might be something as big as providing them style advice, or small as making them feel more comfortable by showing them the fitting rooms. Whatever the task, it’s all about providing best in class customer service to some of the best dressed shoppers out there.
