Primark thread

And did she get the job this year, or was this years ago...?

i work at meadowhall primark!!! i thought my interview went terrible, but i got a call a week and a half later saying i had the job- so i think they just interview you as it is the procedure.

What is your name, I might see you on Thursday morning, when do you guys open because my appointment with Kat is at 9:30am, but the actual shopping centre itself is open at 10am?

Oh and do you just employ straight away after the interview, is Kat interviewing more people instead of just me?

oooo you might do! im only contracted weekends, but im working overtime 7-11am on department 7 (shoes) this thursday. my name is emma, and i wear glasses And yes, medhall opens at 10am, but i think primark may be open for "viewing only" at 9:30 (i know they do that on sundays)

They didnt employ me straight away, i got a call about 10 days later about it, and i would expect that she will be interviewing some more people than you because there has been a list of a few availiable positions on the locker room doors, plus, primark tend to employ more than one person at a time, (so they can train everyone at once i assume)

Thanks for advice (by the way I'm a Chinese girl), how many positions are there?

My first job was at Primark. They aren't very fussy about who they employ.

My advice if you get the job would be this: be lazy. If you actually work hard, they will latch onto this fact and you will be expected to pick up the slack that other less hard working colleagues have left. Best find a job somewhere else if it's at all possible.

Primaaaaaaaark, I can't believe people are saying they hire anyone. I handed my cv in, when I hear there are jobs going on at Primark in Manchester, I applied by handing in my cv, and even posting it every time I hear a vacancy, I get no reply.

I don't work there but I was handing my CV in at another shop and the lady said 'Try at primark they hire everyone, they'll give you a ring'

I think it takes a long time for them to get back to you, I handed my CV in a month ago, but they got back to me now...so just "hang fire" as they will say. But be aware they will have to rummage through everyone's CV and application forms and so forth, so be patient.

Hello again, may you tell me when this was (when they employed you) and what questions would I be asked?

i had my interview at the beggining of october last year and was working from around the 20th or somthing, so 10 months ago.

the only hard question i can remember them asking me was somthing along the lines of "name a time you helped someone" and i started babbling about a time when i was in year 12 and i heared a lower school girl crying in the toilets and got her a buiscuit and persuaded her to talk to a teacher about it. (thats where i thought i messed up!) besides that, it was mainly the usual stuff such as when can you start, do you have any holidays booked in the near future ect ect, do you have any prior experience in retail, (which i did, i worked in a clothes shop for my work experience.) They also asked why i applied, so i said because i need a bit of extra income, and i know primark is a very popular shop with lots of coustomers so i would be kept busy. (the shop i was in for my work experience hardly ever had any coustomers and i got bored very easily) they must have liked that, scince i got the job! Hope this is helpful to you!x

:O ! How is someone on nearly £7ph there! In the one I work in we're paid £3.80ph (I'm 16)

Because we're 18?

At the one I work at the 18 year olds get paid £5.07 not £7 and it's in a City.
