I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (Dublino, Dublino) in May 2014
Interview
10-15 minute interview. The use the STAR method in their grading (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Basically ask you to give examples of you providing excellent customer service, an example of when you worked as part of a team, an example of when you had to work to a deadline. I was only interviewed by one person.
