I applied online. I interviewed at Primark (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Sept 2017
Interview
Applied online after seeing job advertised on Indeed. Took an easy online assessment to see if I was suitable for the job. A few weeks later I was invited in store for a one to one interview. The interview was relaxed and laid-back and I was asked simple questions and the manager was extremely nice and made the experience pleasant. Don't be nervous it's very straight forward!!
Interview questions [7]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for Primark and do you know anything about the company?
Rank these 3 in order from most important to least important and give reasons for this order:
1. Answering a customer query
2. Replenishing stock
3. Tidying clothes off the floor
What do you expect to gain from this job and what do you want to do later in life. (Got told this doesn't affect your interview but was still asked as they are curious)
Individual phone interview asking basic questions about sales experience in fast-paced environments and expectations. As I already worked for another store in a different location I didn't have to attend to a second interview. Once I got it, there was a induction day talking about the business, its mission and values.
Usually have a group interview, and then have an individual one with two managers. They will ask you situational questions, and then questions about yourself. Received a call back the next day.
Concise and to the point: CV review and experience highlights, with questions on each role and how my responsibilities, skills, and impact would translate to Primark and future career fit.
