I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (London, England) in May 2014
Interview
It was very informal, it was quite relaxed.. You just need to be show basic job skills such as good customer service, working under pressure, good presentation ect.
The interview process is quite fast and most people do generally end up getting the job
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
