I don't know what they'll ask as I have mine tomorrow but I e-mailed them and they said it's going to be 1.5 hours and there will be a short film, a presentation and then a 1:1 interview. I would just practise all the interview questions with someone and read up about Primark

I guess so, if you can't get them now. By the way, what did you put for the part that asks for 'ideal store location'? :confused:

I doubt they'll be strict about your interview and not give you a chance if you don't have your references atm. What a predicament though! I don't really know what you can do except to just put a parent down? Or a head of year at school? I'm not sure...

Just came back from my interview at Bexleyheath.

IT WAS SO HARD! The interviewer was really nice and I gave good answers, but it was really hard lol. I don't know if I'll get the job. She says we'll be told by Friday. that was honestly a very long and hard 40minutes of 1 to 1 questions.

oh yeah I didn't tell you what questions I got.
they included:
why primark?
describe a time when you had to work in a team
describe a time when there has been a serious problem which you needed to sort out, and how did you do so?
describe a time when you had to do a presentation :blah: something like that...
how do you think Primark could improve
how have you provided excellent service, how have you helped a customer
describe a time when your colleague needed your help and what did you do?

I'll add more when I remember them

hard to answer on the spot, and also I was really nervous so she spoke for ages to give me time to chill out a little. I talked about the volunteering I do and she wrote all the good things lol, she basically missed out the fact that I was really nervous, so I think I did well, it's just the questions were quite hard to answer because they were strange.

edit: I mean, I even had to talk about my GCSE English presentation about youtube, work experience at a hospital, talking about a charity shop I volunteer at, talking about so much stuff not only shops, as the questions were so different.
