I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Primark (Birmingham, England) in Jan 2016
Interview
I applied online for the new store opening in Birmingham Fort for a weekend position. I was soon after invited for an interview. I received an email asking me to select a time slot for the interview. I actually missed the interview and wasn't expecting to hear back from Primark again. However, surprisingly, I received an interview email again a few weeks later. It was the same, asking me to select a time slot. This time I did attend. As it was a new store opening, it wasn't the same as standard interviews. We were given a presentation on Primark in a group. Then we were taken to a large room with several tables and managers where there were several interviews going on. The lady who interviewed me was very nice and I felt the interview went well even though I felt I could've done better. Two days later I received an email saying I've got the job! As the role covers many different positions, they've assigned me to cash desk, which I'm pleased with. I've only been contracted 4 hours which is a little disappointing however, I have another job alongside this and there's always overtime available so I accepted.

Tell me about a time you had to make a difficult decision and how you dealt with it.
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.
