I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Primark (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2015
Interview
I am so disappointed. I prepared for this interview for a whole day.
I arrived 40 minutes early to the Primark-Marble Arch, managed to find customer services desk. After ten minutes of waiting, we were transferred to the employees' area where they took photocopies of our passport and NI. After 15 minutes, I was called in for the interview. The interview started well and the guy was nice. But then...I was told that they do not have weekend shifts that are suitable for me. The only shift they had was from 1pm-10:30pm and as I am under 18 I cannot finish work that late.
I was not even interviewed!! When I applied I clearly stated my birthdate and availability.
There’s an exam first at home then an in person interview, it’s one manager interviewing you and it’s quite short, they don’t ask too many questions just know your CV and being able to work flexible hours helps
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about previous experience, and how to handle certain situations with customers, also about flexibility
Questions you would expect in majority retail roles. Questions about shop floor interactions. Customer interactions etc. There's only a few questions. Interview focuses the most on your soft skills and your approach to the retail environment.
