1) Just research a little on the employer (history, etc)...

2) Based on the things they tell you...ask them questions...

3) Be yourself...!!

I'm not sure if you're working evenings but I wouldn't recommend it.

I worked in the Lakeside store for about 5 months 6.30-10.30 and basically they wouldn't let any staff go until the shop was spotless, I never left at 10.30 and once was there until 11.15

Hi I'm going to an open day on wednesday for a new store Primark is opening in my town. Can anyone tell me what it's like to work there or any other informtaion which I might find useful? Thank you.

its just like what you usually see when you go into the store, the supervisors will ask you to go on the till if there are lots of people in the queue, do some folding if there aren't anything to do, do recoveries and stocking etc.

Its basically what everyone would expect to work in Primark or any other clothes shop, lots of standing (if you're doing till) and walking around, delivering.

Hope this helps :smile:

They sell really rank clothes. Is there anything else you need to know?

Thanks Robusty for the info. I went to an open day for Primark today. I thought that I would just be handing my application form in and finding a bit out about the new store etc but it was the interviews as well! I was not prepared for this but it wasn't bad at all. Had a group interview and they chose a few people to interview one-on-one....me! They said they will inform me of the outcome in 7 to 10 days, hopefully I will get a job. Although the pay is only £3.58...slave labour! Well at least it's job and i'm going to keep looking for a better paid job whether I get this one or not.

Yeah i'm 16, it's rubbish but it'll do until I find a better paid job. When everyone goes off to uni there'll be some vacancies in a few places so I'll have a look about then. I worked out that if I only do 4hrs a week (hours are 4-17 weekends), that I'll get £14 ish for that week! Worse is that I will have to get the bus which is £5 return lol so I will only make £4 and that's without buying dinner!! lol I said I wanted to work maximum hours or it just won't be worth it.
