I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Primark (Colchester, England) in Jun 2021
Interview
Poorly. Received phone call with immediate interview (without previous arrangements), answered on questions and whilst speaking they just cut the phone call. Unprofessional. If that's the way they do interviews I can imagine how people who work there get treated, no bad feeling to actually not to get a job there after this experience. Have to agree to rumours how bad the stuff is treated there.
Straightforward, relaxed interview process with one member of their management team. No complicated questions asked, all to be expected for this type of position. I was made to feel at ease.
Casual chat with some situational questions, such as prioritisation, and some personality type questions too, and why do you want to work here etc, they also gave a tour of the back of the shop but not in massive depth

Question 1
Which of these issues would you address first? Sorting a shelf, answering a clients question, redesigning the display
Asked questions from a booklet. It was my first ever interview experience and the employer was really really helpful with easing my nerves, even though I struggled to answer questions.
