I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied online through their website and was invited to interview about 2 weeks later and given over a weeks notice. The interview was casual, consisted of a one on one with a HR manager. I was told I'd be informed within the next week and heard back the next day that I had been offered the job and was to attend an induction that weekend
