I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (Gateshead, England) in Oct 2014
Interview
Applied online, filled in the application and did 2 online tests, after passing these i was told my application would be considered. i then received an email about a week later with an interview date and time. This was my first interview and i was so nervous but the woman was lovely and adapted some of the questions considering i didn't have any previous retail experience. afterwards she said i would receive news either way via email. i got an email about 3-4 days later offering me the job. i was a christmas temp and then was offered a permanent contract after christmas with more hours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When were you in a situation where you had to communicate with someone non-verbally?
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
