      Retail Assistant Interview

      Feb 2, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Birmingham, Inghilterra
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Primark (Birmingham, Inghilterra) in Jan 2016

      Interview

      I applied online for the new store opening in Birmingham Fort for a weekend position. I was soon after invited for an interview. I received an email asking me to select a time slot for the interview. I actually missed the interview and wasn't expecting to hear back from Primark again. However, surprisingly, I received an interview email again a few weeks later. It was the same, asking me to select a time slot. This time I did attend. As it was a new store opening, it wasn't the same as standard interviews. We were given a presentation on Primark in a group. Then we were taken to a large room with several tables and managers where there were several interviews going on. The lady who interviewed me was very nice and I felt the interview went well even though I felt I could've done better. Two days later I received an email saying I've got the job! As the role covers many different positions, they've assigned me to cash desk, which I'm pleased with. I've only been contracted 4 hours which is a little disappointing however, I have another job alongside this and there's always overtime available so I accepted.
