I applied online. I interviewed at Primark (Burton, East Midlands, England) in Jan 2016
Interview
Very friendly and understanding as it was my first job interview, took about 20 minutes, questions were easy as long as you prepare. One lady asked the questions whilst the other wrote my answers down.
Questions you would expect in majority retail roles. Questions about shop floor interactions. Customer interactions etc. There's only a few questions. Interview focuses the most on your soft skills and your approach to the retail environment.
