I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (Manchester, England) in Nov 2014
Interview
Recieved an email a few days after applying, when for interview asked a series of questions from a piece of paper. Questions were reasonable but some difficult to answer as I had no previous retail experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain one time in which you delivered customer service.
Standard retail interview, make sure you have a question prepared to ask the interviewer. They go through your cv on the day so make sure you have the correct dates etc.
Really easy and quick. Interviewer was friendly and there was about 20 questions but just the generic. Took about 10 minutes. But was for christmas temp. So they lowkey was trying to take alot of people in as possible as primark can get busy.
Online application, live interview followed by a feedback. In a few days I knew their answer. The interview was no stressful at all and the interviewer made me feel very comfortable
