I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (Bedford, England) in Apr 2017
Interview
I applied online in which I had to take an assessment
Roughly 2 weeks later I received an email telling me I had an interview.
When I attended the interview I was placed in a room of around 15 other people in which we prompted via presentation on what the next steps were, what the interview would be like- what kind of questions they'd ask ect. They went into the detail about the ethics behind primark.
We were then taken to another room and one by one called into another room in which around 10 tables were spread out, roughly 10 people were being interviewed 1:1 in the same room. I think this helped ease my nerves as it was less awkward- these people were applying for different roles or the same roles.
The interview lasted around an hour and consisted of mainly not so much scenario based questions but more give an example of how you have performed different skills.
The interviewer was really friendly and by the end of the interview I was not so nervous anymore.
After the interview you are sent an email roughly 10 days after the process in which you are either made an offer, you are reserved, or rejected.
If you are accepted then you attend an induction which lasts a day long where they go into more detail
About the store.
Give an example of when you have had to describe something complex to either a colleague or customer, and how did you make sure they understood what you were explaining?
Applied online and signed up for the phone interview the same day. Did phone interview; they didn't have time slots for the in person one, said they'd get back to me. Received rejection letter the next day.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Primark (Liverpool, England) in Mar 2017
Interview
Arrived ten minutes early as asked. Was escorted by a more then bubbly member of staff to the 5th floor for my interview. Interviewee said hello and kindly introduced herself. First question asked was if i have legal records of proof t work in the UK, to which i had replied "Yes" (My birth certificate and national insurance number) I was then asked to hand all over and patiently wait as she reviews all in her office. When all was done she came and collected me to begin my interview. All was good, calm and overall a pleasant exsperience. Interviewee was well mannered, kind and seemed to be recieving my awnsers to questions asked postively. All smiles and laughs. Remained eye contact, formal body language and smiles with my interviewee throughout. Questions were fair and reasonable for all were retail based. If unsure through never working in retail please do research as it will be needed. my availabilty was later questioned, uniform and job roles explained alongside my pay. Happy with the final results and overall exsperience. I was told i will be told whether or not ive got the job in two weeks, if i am not emailed within two weeks assume i've got the job and im being put through the process. To my suprise i recieved a phone call two hours later to say i had indeed got the job. Looking forward to working in primark soon.
You're helping a customer with an outfit and they want to try the outfit on. The changing room queues are very long and they don't want to wait. What would you do?
