I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Primark (Plymouth, England) in Sept 2018
Interview
Laid back and friendly. Everyone was really welcoming and introduced themselves. We had an individual interview and then group training. We were given uniform and then put out on the shop floor and on the tills to get used to it.
