I applied online. I interviewed at Primark in Oct 2014
Interview
Applied for the job online, long and detailed process but nothing too difficult. Was then accepted for an interview a few days later as the position closing date was nearby. I had a lovely & easy interview. After the interview I was phoned with my job offer and the hours I would receive. I then had a 2 day induction to introduce me to the job.

Interview
Applied through the online system at beginning of August and received a phone call inviting me to an interview 2 weeks later.
The interview was very relaxed and quite open. The interviewer asked basic questions such as "tell me about a time you worked well within a team" and "why do you want to work for Primark", but the majority of the interview was an open flow conversation where I felt the interviewer was really trying to get to know me as a person. I was offered a position at the end of the interview and was invited for an induction the following week.

Interview
Applied and was emailed 5 days later with an interview slot for one week later. Interview was one-to-one. It included a question about a time working in a team when a member of the team has been holding everybody else back or words to that effect, a question about my experience giving presentations, a time where I've given good customer service, who are Primark's main competitors (no detail needed). They do not ask what you know about Primark but give their own information about the company at the end of the interview and they ask why you applied to Primark. During the interview there were 3 competency based questions (outlined above). However, it seemed as though the interviewer was able to choose between three options for each question so these could easily vary for each person. I left the interview and was told I'd hear back within a few days, was called within one hour of the interview and asked to start the following day.
