I interviewed at Primark (Southend-on-Sea, England)
Interview
1 on 1 interview with.a manager. Was inexperienced at the time, so asked about why I wanted to work in retail, why primark and skill based questions (e.g. give us an example of a time where you worked in a team).
Great! Would love to interview here for any job at any time. Boss is good and balance too. Multiple rounds but all work just fine and will go back. Maybe in future again.
Individual phone interview asking basic questions about sales experience in fast-paced environments and expectations. As I already worked for another store in a different location I didn't have to attend to a second interview. Once I got it, there was a induction day talking about the business, its mission and values.
Usually have a group interview, and then have an individual one with two managers. They will ask you situational questions, and then questions about yourself. Received a call back the next day.
