I applied online. I interviewed at Primark (Eastbourne, England) in Aug 2017
Interview
Overall a very nice interview. I was asked basic questions about what I wrote on my CV. I then got given the usual questions such as how I would act in certain situations. Just say the same as everyone else and standard procedures. A lot is just logic. An example is how would you deal with a distressed customer? Everyone on this website has put all the questions down and that really helped me to do well. Be happy and don't put any pressure on yourself, it's only Primark!

Question 1
If a customer wants something on a mannequin and it is out of stock, how would you approach it.
There is a standard checklist that they follow. You answer basic, straightforward questions you would expect and are scored as a result. It is very easy to prepare for. You are scored on a rating scale, I believe numerical!

Question 1
How would your former or current boss describe you?
Very simple and straightforward questions. Nothing challenging. Took place in an empty office with no distractions. Questions mainly about my skills and why I was suitable for the role. Took around 30 mins to an hour.
It was a group interview initially then we were taken to have a one to one. After which we basically had a trial shift for a couple of hours. They spoke to us about working with the business and allowed us to ask questions
