When do primark contact you after applying?

Pretty much immediately. However-Ii worked in 'Primark' for over a year; WORST decision I ever made. You'd definitely be better off somewhere else- the staff regulations are ridiculous and everything in the staff handbook is too vague to question anything and receive any HR advice that would benefit you. I worked on the floor, in HR and in cash office. The lack of ethical practice is stunning. Of all the floor managers, 90% spoke an unacceptable level of English to pass as any acceptable Customer service and it's near impossible to get promoted unless you're of the correct (for this case remaining unspecified) race or related to/sleeping with another person in a higher position. Do yourself a huge favour- if you get an interview- don't accept it I was model staff with high credentials and experience of working hard and being promoted as much as possible within the system- I was well connected with many of the senior leadership and saw the treatment of the staff. The pay's terrible as well.

If they want to speak to you I imagine they would try calling again.
I know that they keep your application for a while though, one of my friends had an interview and then got offered the job 2 months later.

I basically need the money and experience its a weekend job and im at uni so working there it would be temporary till i find something better, its the only place atm thats recruiting and i feel i cant be fussy even if the pay is crap. But thankyou for replying and i know there are alot of asians working in those places and i am one myself except i do have acceptable level of english lol.

Aha fair enough. My Dire need for money was my reason as well. Hehe- i never in any way meant to suggest your English was anything less than perfect . Good luck with your application! Aim to work on tills and not on the floor

Lol i was just playing but there are alot of asians in primark near me, i phoned them and the hr said she will go through application on wednesday (i phoned monday) so hopefully i hear something but part of me dosent want to lol, tbh im just applying anywhere and if i get it ill just stick with it till i find something better. Where do you work now? Ok thankyou for your advice xxxxx

They email me and left text msg.

how many days after you applied did they get back to you?

When I had an interview last August I didn't hear back from them at all.

me neither.. very unprofessional.. its been 2 months since my interview and i haven't heard from there either

I applied on the 25th November got an email on 26th December to come in for interview last Friday. Felt it went okay although she asked me questions like,

why do you want to work here?
Have you any work experience?
How can you contribute to a team?
What are primarks competitors?
Have you any communication skills?
How do you make sure work is to a high quality?
Name a time when you had to work in a team under pressure?
When you gave good service? and how do you deal with rude customer?


Lasted 30 minutes.

Told me she would make a decision this week and she would call me if i got the job with hours induction dates ect but some interviewees couldnt make the time for interviewers so she would have to do their interview, im not holding my breath though, felt she didnt have a clue to when she would be doing inductions

she asked me the same questions.. anyway hope they actually get back to you
good luck

Thanks i doubt id get it anyway, but didn't you call her back and ask for any feedback.

yepp i did about 3 weeks after my interview.. she said she'd ring me back to let me know whats going on and why no one emailed or rang me.. but no one rang me
now am back to square one, still job hunting lol
