Primark thread

I was a Christmas temp with like 30 other people and we all got kept on

Hey all,

I recently got offered a job in the women's accessories department. Just wondering, will they train me elsewhere as well? Or just there? I have a feeling that department isn't going to that busy so I'm not going to have much opportunity for overtime etc.

How long did they take to get back to you after the end date of the application?

To be even more precise, just checked my emails. I applied on the 9th of Feb, they offered me an interview on the 12th which was later in the month. Then got back to me a week later to say I had the job.

I hate working in primark.
Esp the south london one.

Oh? how come... I applied for a few London ones.

Thanks for checking!

Hopefully I will hear something soon, these retail application processes drive me crazy sometimes!!

I've been for my induction today and I'm not happy with what I'll be doing as it's fitting rooms and i would rather be on tills.. Before my induction the manager said I could do weekend work but I said I'll stick to my hours and now I've changed my mind and world rather work weekends cause I'll be more than likely to work on tills.. I got my 2nd induction tomorrow can I ask them if I can do weekends instead and it be fine ?

Does anyone know what the night shift pay is for Primark?

No idea depends on the region store anything above 7 quid and below 8 i believe.

Oh damn, I was hoping it was around 8-9 pounds per hour. Oh well

I read online about a 20% prenium, I think that's about right.

Got my induction at the manchester store on saturday, can anyone tell me what it'll be like or give me tips etc? So nervous!

Also does getting an induction mean I've got the job or is this just like a second interview stage

If you have an induction it means you were successful in your interview and have got the job. Congratulations!

Essentially they will talk you through lots of information on the company and store and all of their policies and stuff. They will also give you a tour of the store and you'll probably work on the shop floor for a bit too.

It's absolutely nothing to worry about. Make sure you bring your documents and bank details etc. However, you will receive information from them on what to bring and so on.

Hope this helps and feel free to ask me any other questions you have!
