I applied online. I interviewed at Primark (Newcastle under Lyme, England) in Sept 2024
Interview
Simple, asks questions about yourself/ how you’ve dealt with heavy work load in previous jobs. Asks about availability and preferred working/ contracted hours. Scenario based eg how would you react to a challenging customer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain a time where I had an unexpected heavy workload.
Individual phone interview asking basic questions about sales experience in fast-paced environments and expectations. As I already worked for another store in a different location I didn't have to attend to a second interview. Once I got it, there was a induction day talking about the business, its mission and values.
Usually have a group interview, and then have an individual one with two managers. They will ask you situational questions, and then questions about yourself. Received a call back the next day.
Concise and to the point: CV review and experience highlights, with questions on each role and how my responsibilities, skills, and impact would translate to Primark and future career fit.
