I applied online. I interviewed at Primark (West Bromwich, England) in Jun 2017
Interview
Group interview, lasted around and hour and a half due to the wait for everyone to arrive. Plus there was only one interviewer and two groups of around 7 people, so we had to alternate, so group one would go in whilst group 2 sat outside and waited and vice versa
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was no specific questions, it was scenario based. So the first one we had was the manager gave us 10 different scenarios that could happen in a shop, i.e. queues, a well known shoplifter entering the store, clothes all over the floor, a customer collapsed outside etc. And as a team we had to choose the most important 5 and then one person had to explain why. The next task we had was a debate, so the manager split my group in half so it was like 3v4, and then one side had to argue the men's section was better and the other half had to argue that the woman's section was better. Lastly, we had another task similar to the first one, however this was on the personality traits ands characteristics that would be required i.e. efficiency, team work and so forth. Again we had to choose the top 5, rank that 5 most important to least important and then explain why.

Interview
I was sent 2 emails. One was by the company and the other was a representative of the store I applied for. Irritatingly, the representative from the store misunderstood my name but I didn't take it as anything major. In the email from the company, I was asked to provide my Right to Work documents and a copy of my CV. In the email from the store, I was asked to provide my Right to Work documents and a passport sized photo. I was confused so took both.
Upon my arrival, (As I was told in the email) I went to the Customer Service desk where I was asked to sign in providing my mobile number, name, reason and time in. I was also given a Visitor Pass before being escorted to the top floor where I was asked to take a seat and wait. It was the rest area where other members of staff were and looked like a nice area.
I had my interview with a nice woman and was escorted out of the place before returning to the Customer Service area to sign out and return my Visitor Pass.

Interview
It was very laid back the manager was great and tried to make the process seem as relaxed and informal as possible, they asked some basic things like when can you work and do you have any holiday booked then moved on to more scenario based questions.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and why do you want to work for Primark?
The customer likes the dress you have found her as a substitute and want to try it on. The changing room queues are very long and they don't want to wait. What would you do?
