Question 1
How would your former or current boss describe you?
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!
