    Guys, I haven't heard back from them yet and its been about 40 days ! Does anyone have any contact information I could use.
    Also, in the email that I got telling me about the interview I didn't realise for all this time it said at the bottom to 'click the link to confirm the interview day' could this be the reason why I haven't been contacted ? :confused:

    Hi. I e mailed head office and got a reply a few days later from a really helpful lady who got the woman in charge of recruitment at the oxfrod st branch to ring me. (if those of you still waiting are not waiting for oxford street then she will get the appropriate person to ring you im sure). I complained that I had waited longer than 28 days and then put on hold and i wanted to know more about on hold - how long are we likely to be waiting etc. The woman who rang me was a bit of a robot, but at least you will find out where you stand. The first lady who e mailed me had all my details including hours i am available for, my interview date etc so its not just generic e mails she is sending.
    The e mail address I sent my complaint to is paul.marchant@primark.co.uk took a few days for them to reply but they do

    Just that as soon as a position becomes available they will contact me, but that really is useless because theres no way of knowing how long you might be waiting. I have no interest any more in working for them as their recruitment system is diabolical so God knows what theyre like to work for. If they can leave people waiting for 40 days without contact then they obviously have no respect for prospective staff. I will continue looking elsewhere. the main reason I e mailed them was to complain about how they leave people waiting without even a courtesy e mail saying we might have to wait a little longer and how disrepectful that is, and before anyone says about how busy they are, I couldnt give a damn abecause they were the ones who decided to interview 9000 odd people and they were the ones to tell us that we would hear within 28 days.

    I don't get it because at the induction they said to wear practical comfortable shoes that are safe and all that.. And we can't wear converses or vans? They are both exactly that..
