I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Primark in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied online and had to fill in a survey where you rated the best and worst things to do in Primark situations.
2 weeks later I got a phone call about an interview. I arrived 10 minutes early, was taken to the canteen and give a form to fill in but was forced to wait about 30-40 minutes before my interview could actually occur.
The actual interview wasn't too bad. I'd done my research so knew sort of what to expect. After the usual 'education/experience/why primark?' they asked me 4-5 (I can't remember) main questions where I had to give examples. If I didn't say enough, they just asked more questions.
It took another 2 weeks before I heard back that I'd got the job and booked in an induction day.
It’s only one interview with one of the managers. They will ask you very basic questions the interview lasted less than 30 minutes. they will let you know the outcome very soon.
Easy, first you had to complete a situational judgement test online then only 1 interview. very quick 10 mins long. Questions are more about you and your skills and some situational judgement questions
-pretty easy and straightforward
-Had a phone interview before and then an in-person one, where you just have to be yourself.
-Just prepare basic HR type questions and you should be good
