      Retail Operative Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (Leeds, England) in Oct 2012

      Interview

      Easy interview, very relaxed and friendly interviewer. I was very nervous as this was my first interview and the store is massive . Asked questions such as "Why do you want to work for Primark ?" give me an example of when you have used your initiative or worked as part of a team " I talked about my work experience even though this was in a school , gave examples such as when I had helped the teacher and other members of staff. It was about three weeks before I heard anything although they did say at interview they had over one hundred people to interview and feedback to. I did not receive any specific feed back but got the job. Quite short notice though received email on the Thursday and was asked to attend induction the next day ! so had to rush out and buy myself a uniform. Also had to complete an on-line safety test and pass it before I could attend induction. Top tip make notes throughout this as there is an exam at the end. I think you had to get over fourteen correct to pass. It took around an hour and a half to complete. Then a four hour induction in store which again was health and safety extremely boring as it was just going back over what was said on-line. Given a very useful handbook at induction, name badge and codes for doors , tills etc. Started work the following day it was ok. Everyone very friendly and supervisor really supportive. Quite nerve racking on the tills but you pick it up fairly quickly . Worked two weekends there now and I feel I've settled in really well. Salary for 16 yrs is £4.00 per hour but plenty of overtime available.

      I interviewed at Primark

      Interview

      I was invited to have an interview with a hiring manager. It was a short conversation (probably approximately 20 minutes), and I was asked only few questions. The interviewer focused especially on team-work.
