I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (Peterborough, Inghilterra) in May 2024
Interview
Applied online, then got a phone call 3 days later where I was asked questions such as “what does a retail assistant do?” And what my availability was. Was then invited to come in for an in-store interview at the end.
About 2 weeks later, had the in-store interview, nice and relaxed, manager made me feel at ease. Lasted around 10 minutes.
Got a phone call 3 days later saying I got the job and what my contract and shift pattern would be like, as well as my induction.
