I applied online. I interviewed at Primark (Staten Island, NY) in Jan 2017
Interview
It was pretty quick with the woman who interviewed me. She was pretty nice and wrote things down on the tablet. Just remember to always smile and don't show that you dislike people or working with others. Tell them you are available many hours and you are flexible if possible. That increases your potential.

Question 1
All the same questions about telling a time when there was a situation and how you resolved it. Words to describe yourself. About what your old boss would say about you and your relationship with them. Tell about a situation when you had a problem at school or job. There were many of the situation type questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Primark (New York, NY) in Jan 2017
Interview
Found an ad on Craigslist for the new location in Staten Island, so I went ahead and applied. Weeks later, I got an email to schedule a phone interview. It was easy and she went ahead and invited me for a face to face interview. I received an email and scheduled the time and went. They asked general retail questions. It was very easy. The interview was on Tuesday, and I hear back on Friday with a call that I got the job! The pay is 12.50/hr which is great!
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Primark in Dec 2015
Interview
I was contacted via a Primark Company "Talent Reqruit Representative". They sent me an email and left me a phone message to set up the initial phone interview that is first required. These messages also informed that there was an opening at the new store in KOP. You could not email back, tho you could click a link to a page with a monthly schedule to choose your date and time. I scheduled my phone interview and was sent confirmation of the time along with the name of the Talent Rep I'd be speaking with. However, their Rep contacted me three hours ahead of the scheduled time (I missed the call) and I was then sent an email saying I missed my interview, but to just call and reschedule. I did so and was sent confirmation with now the time in the confirmation email being off by three hours. Hence, my first company experiences have left me with little excitement for the Primark brand. I had my phone interview which consisted of about six questions that were pretty generic. The Rep also seemed in a hurry to just get my quick answers and move on. She had no idea where/how I was found or recruited by them for the position (which I always find odd, particularly when they ask you why you want to work for them...). I was asked to then go to a website to apply for the position following the phone call. From which, I immediately received an automated email stating that there weren't any open positions at the KOP store?? In summation, I don't like my time being wasted.
