ohh okaayy thanks, how was other peoples interviews ?
So I had my interview on Sunday 9:00am, I arrived like half an hour early and was like the first one there 
Lool.
I went to the desk where there was two ladies sitting down, she told me to take out my application form, passport and national insurance card. She gave me back my application form and told me to take a seat.
THE VIDEO
This was the point where i nearly died because it was played like 7 times because of late people, it was interesting the first time but after the third, i kept picking up my bag like I wanted to go. Obviously I stayed.
THE PRESENTATION
So some lady came into the room and said she was ready to take us to the next room, i sat right at the front and another lady started to talk. She went through the power point and it just explained hours of work, what they were looking for, who wanted to work for the Stafford store during the Olympics. She also explained that there was a 3 month probation you was on then you have 5 week review then a 10 week one.
THE INTERVIEW
This was the point were my hands started to sweat a bit but i just kept telling myself I need this job so i better be calm. We lined up and each on went into the the room i was like 3rd in the line, there was rows of tables with primark people. I saw a lot of men but i really wanted a women which I got She was lovely shake her hand first then sat down. She asked about my papers (application form and right to work) then the questions came.
What are you studying ?
What are your hobbies ? ( or doing in your spare time)
Why do you want to work for primark ?
What do you think of primark ?
What work experience have you done ?
If you was in a disagreement with a colleague how would you resolve it ?
On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate your communication skills ?
( there was one more which i forgot) sorry !
Do you have any more question ? ( i said no but that was only because i was asking during the interview)
I actually loved the interview this was my second interview in my life and i kinda learned from experience's that you need to better yourself and just try 10 times harder. My first interview was a disaster but that was because i never prepared. PREPARE PREPARE PREPARE !!! it's an essential key fact. I had an A4 sheet which had question and answers which i brought with me and it was on the table, but surprisingly i never used it i just felt confident and me and my mum was doing role plays in the car when she was dropping me to the train station helped me a lot.
JUST BE YOURSELF, LIE IS NOT A SCRIPT
Hope this helped anyone, any question ask, i would love to answer xxx
Rianna I will defo let you no if i got through fingers crossed*

Oh, i'm sorry to hear that, I thought with your recent retail experience you might have had a chance. You got a response very quick though, did they let you know by email or phone? I had my interview before you and still haven't heard back yet.

I will be having an interview at primark in a couple of weeks time for the new store opening in tottenham court road. I was wondering if anyone knows what sort of questions they will ask for the group interview and on the one-to-one interview.
It will be a 1-on-1 interview then if you pass the interview you'll go through to a group induction and start probably a week after that
They'll ask you who their rivals are, examples of when you've gave good customer service and to give examples of when you've worked in a team

Hey!
Just thought I'd let you know that I was rejected too. I was a deputy manager of a large busy betting shop for 3 years and worked at my local CAB for 7 months, but that still counted for nothing. The first thing they said to me was 'so you don't have any retail experience'; I knew from then on it was doomed. Maybe at 39, I just didn't fit the profile. Never mind.
Don't worry, there's probably something better round the corner for you
