I applied online. I interviewed at Primark (Schaumburg, IL) in Mar 2024
Interview
Interview process was easy and comfortable. People were nice. They asked typical questions about my background and customer service skills. They offered me the job snd said they would be in touch to schedule onboarding snd a start date because they did this monthly as a group. They never called in spite of the fact that they offered me the job right away. I hsve followed up with them several time and they keep telling me that I ether job snd they will call me to schedule onboarding and start date. It’s been a month and a half since I was offered the job! They should just be honest and not string people along. It’s dishonest.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They wanted to know what it was like to work for my previous employer which was one of their direct competitors in he same mall. They were particularly interested in the amount of business my previous store had during busy times.
Great! Would love to interview here for any job at any time. Boss is good and balance too. Multiple rounds but all work just fine and will go back. Maybe in future again.
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.
