I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (Leeds, England) in Sept 2014
Interview
Applied online with CV, covering letter and completed their online assessment. Waited just over a week to hear from the HR after submitting my application, then by the weekend of the same week, an interview in store was arranged. All in all, interview was quite easy (and it was my 2nd ever!)
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Asked questions along the lines of: why I think I'm suited to the role, what experience I have in working as a team, an example of when I have been in a tricky situation snd how I overcame it, what I know about the role of a retail assistant, what my proudest achievement is

One on one with the team manager of the department which i was about to get hired. He asked me situasional question like "How would you deal with an angry customer?" or "How do you cooperate in team when you have a bad day"
