I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Primark (Freehold, NJ) in Jun 2016
Interview
Submitted an online application. It took almost a month for them to reply and give me a phone interview. The person on the phone interview was nice but messed up the position and location I applied for when she sent the confirmation email. I had to call them back to correct everything, but other than that, the phone interview was easy. My face to face interview came about two weeks later. The interviewer was not at all experienced. He kept asking me what certain words meant in my answers (and also asked me to spell them) and displayed a slightly negative attitude towards me. The questions I was given were all "what would you do in this scenario" question. In fact, I dont recall the interviewer asking me any questions about myself than what my name is. The face to face interview was a disaster for me.
