Interview at Primark!

Hi, I applied for a job at my local Primark last weekend and have just been phoned to ask if I am available for interview tomorrow! It's my first ever interview and I'm quite nervous, is there anything I should expect (style of questions)? Also any clothing advice would be really helpful! Thank you!

How exciting for you! Don't worry, pretty much everyone gets nervous doing interviews.

Hi i have an interview on Saturday for a Christmas Temp for primark and even though this isn't my first interview am really nervous because there was over 1,600 applicants and there is 160 interviews giving out for 47 christmas temps (my friend works there and told me). So there is some competition, any tips, questions? has anyone had the christmas temp interview and can give me some advice ?

Hi! I had my interview last friday, for a part time position and it was the same for me- loads of applicants and only 11 positions. Be yourself and try to be confident! Atleast going from my experience, the interviewers ease you into it. Show a keen interest in the store and state why their competitors fall short. Just relax- it's a really easy interview! Hope I helped in some way? If you have any questions about the interview process feel free to ask!

Aw thanks so much for replying with some good advice, I am a very confident in everyday life and socially but once i get nervous i become very shy so am hoping its a laid back interview and not so formal. What stores did you say was there competitors and why did you say they fell short (just for some ideas incase they ask). Can you rememeber any other questions that they asked you, any hard ones or just general interview questions?.

Hi! I said New look where there main competition and that although in the past the quality was similar, New Looks prices have been high, unlike Primark who's quality is improving for the same price. The other questions where things such as 'how did you give a good custumor service?' and 'Explain a time you were put in a difficultposition (I talked about when a friend was struggling and I spoke to someone- which she didn't want- that she disliked me for a while but saw I did the right thing in the end) and they ask you about an examples responsibilities you may have had.. (I'm 16 with no retail experience aside from youth club shop for children, so she adapted all of my question to revolve around school life)
Hope I helped!

Aw thanks so much you helped a lot hopefully I get the job I'll let you know how it goes sure
