Sales Associate Interview

Sep 10, 2017

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Primark (Edinburgh, Schottland) in Sep 2017

Interview

Applied online after seeing job advertised on Indeed. Took an easy online assessment to see if I was suitable for the job. A few weeks later I was invited in store for a one to one interview. The interview was relaxed and laid-back and I was asked simple questions and the manager was extremely nice and made the experience pleasant. Don't be nervous it's very straight forward!!
