I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Primark (Rushden, East Midlands, England) in May 2019
Interview
Really relaxed. I went into the store and up to the exchanges counter where I was given a badge and shown up to the staff area where I waited. I was then called into a room where I was interviewed by 2 people, really relaxed and chilled, not formal at all. It was really quick and they said I'd hear back within a week.
There is a standard checklist that they follow. You answer basic, straightforward questions you would expect and are scored as a result. It is very easy to prepare for. You are scored on a rating scale, I believe numerical!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would your former or current boss describe you?
Very simple and straightforward questions. Nothing challenging. Took place in an empty office with no distractions. Questions mainly about my skills and why I was suitable for the role. Took around 30 mins to an hour.
It was a group interview initially then we were taken to have a one to one. After which we basically had a trial shift for a couple of hours. They spoke to us about working with the business and allowed us to ask questions
