I applied online. I interviewed at Primark (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Apr 2017
Interview
You get interviewed by 2 supervisors in an interview room on the staff floor. You have to go to customer services to tell them about your interview. There is a lot of waiting around, the interview may be delayed about half an hour.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Put these things in order based on importance:
1. Items left on the floor
2. Customer needs help
3. The sales racks are empty
For the first day we all met up and were shown a slideshow about the company and it's values. Afterwards we were lead to the main area with lots of seating with different interviewers - I was interviewed by a lovely, polite lady who took time to listen to me speak about my work experience and other information. About a day or two later I had an email explaining that I had been accepted with information on the next meeting. Our next meeting consisted of meeting one another and doing some ice breaker activities where I met one of my main supervisors and managers and others who would be working with me. During this day we also had to write down information in our staff handbooks that we were given and do a few activities based on real situations with customers, such as serving, complaints, etc. - this went okay but I feel like there should have been more time given to learn about different situations as some of us were confused and felt slightly judged by our activity outcomes that day.
Overall I felt the actual interviewing process went well but I felt the activities day fell flat with me, but mainly because I'm not an extremely sociable person with new people.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Primark (Southampton, England) in May 2017
Interview
Applied online through Primark website. The online application was a lot longer than I expected.
