I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (Basingstoke, England) in Mar 2016
Interview
I arrived 10 minutes early and got seen to as soon possible, one of the staff members took me down to the canteen while I waited for about 10-15 minutes (considering I was early as well). There were a couple of older girls than me that made conversation with me and wished me luck. A mananger [?] I think, came and asked for my passport, NI no, and a passport sized photo. A few minutes later she came back and asked me to come through to an office (fairly sized) and said to just relax. She was a nice lady. I've yet to hear back from them.

Standard retail interview, make sure you have a question prepared to ask the interviewer. They go through your cv on the day so make sure you have the correct dates etc.
Really easy and quick. Interviewer was friendly and there was about 20 questions but just the generic. Took about 10 minutes. But was for christmas temp. So they lowkey was trying to take alot of people in as possible as primark can get busy.
