I applied online. I interviewed at Primark (Norwich, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview is usually informal and customer-focused, either one-to-one or in a small group. You’ll be asked situational and strength-based questions about teamwork, customer service, reliability, and working in a fast-paced environment. Some interviews include a short shop-floor task or availability discussion. The focus is on attitude, communication, flexibility, and how you handle customers and busy periods, rather than formal experience. Scoring is based on examples, enthusiasm, and cultural fit.

Question 1
What would you do if shop floor is busy and so are tills
They asked around four typical STAR interview questions that are simple to answer with prep and it lasted about ten to fifteen minutes. It was overall good and very relaxed.
