I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Primark (Perth, Scotland) in Aug 2012
Interview
The interview lasted roughly 20 minutes and included pretty simple, standard interview questions. A lot of emphasis is put on teamwork and customer service questions, including scenarios asking you how you would deal with certain problems regarding customer service. Learning about the company beforehand, especially its history, impresses the interviewer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation where you have worked as part of a team.
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.
The process begins with an online assessment to evaluate initial skills and qualifications, and candidates who pass this stage are then invited to attend a formal in-person interview for further evaluation.
