Primark thread

I've heard it's about £4.07 if you're 16-17 and £5.75 (mimimum wage) if you're 18+. Not bad if you just want a bit of money for the summer though

Also - you know when they ask 'why do you want to work in this store?' what are you supposed to say? I'm looking to work at a store too hopefully

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

Oh and can you help me on the directions: I am going to Meadowhall by tram and when I get to the interchange, how long is it to get to the actual shopping centre to the store?

well primark is at the other end of meadowhall from the interchange so i would say... give it 10 mins walking time? i would try to get there at least 10 mins early anyway to make a good impression, so try and get to meadowhall at least 20 mins before your interview

Wow thanks I'll go for your advice oh and I forgot to ask, is Kat really nice, I'm quite scared and a bit worried that she won't offer me the job, my dream job is to get one in fashion retail!

to be honest, im not sure who kat is? she might only work weekdays. definatley tell her that your dream job is to get into fashion and retail though, i bet she will like that. tell her you want to eventually be a fashion buyer for primark or somthing

Thats what I was thinking, especially the fashion buyer thing, but I would like to be a trainee manager

This will show her that I'm keen!

And am I expected to fill out an application form at the interview, because I haven't when I applied...?

i didn't. apparently there used to be an application form to fill out instead of handing in a cv, but i think medhall primark scrapped that a while ago.

I know it's easy for me to say, but try not to panic. Everyone thinks they do badly in interviews, you probably did better than you think.

Hi, I just had an interview with them (staff: Sue Prescott - I think, a supervisor), in my opinion, it went terrible! When she asked me questions I was like eek3: and I started to mutter a few words.

Despite this, they liked the fact that I arrived very early (8:45am) (I hope this showed I'm keen) and also smartly dressed (with a decent fashionable blouse cardigan and black trousers and of course black shoes), and I hope they thought I was taking the job very seriously ; although now I have to wait for the overall review of my interview (if I had got the job).

So fingers crossed for me !

great!! i think i know who sue is, (short blonde hair?)

good luck, i hope you get the job! xx
