I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Primark (Philadelphia, PA) in Nov 2015
Interview
First step is registering interest by phone or website. You create a profile. Then they schedule a phone interview. Then they send you an application form. Then you are invited to an in person interview with the hiring manager. At that interview the manager wlil tell you how long before you hear their decision.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are at the cash register, your shift is almost over, there's a long line of customers, near the end of the line is a mom with a crying toddler. What do you do?
One on one with the team manager of the department which i was about to get hired. He asked me situasional question like "How would you deal with an angry customer?" or "How do you cooperate in team when you have a bad day"
In the interview, I was told about the working hours and was asked several behavioural questions, as well as why I want to work at Primark and what I know about the Company and its values.
The process begins with an online assessment to evaluate initial skills and qualifications, and candidates who pass this stage are then invited to attend a formal in-person interview for further evaluation.
