The Primark Thread

The chances of you getting the job? High.

Primark interviews aren't know for being remarkably difficult to get through. I was employed when I'd just gone 16, with no prior work experience at all

I am sure on the website for their jobs that they must have at least 2 years retail experience, that was the reason i never applied there!

I had my interview a few days ago. I should find out on Wednesday/Thursday whether I get the job or not. *fingers crossed*

OK thanks, may I ask:

1) What was the interview like before you got the job, what questions do they ask specifically?

2) What pay is it generally for 18 year olds (I'm 18) and when you get the job, are you allowed to change your shift patterns - because I'm planning to go back to college?

3) How many days off will I be entitled to?

More info on the way if necessary.

1) You get given a sheet to fill in first, you get asked about your strengths and weaknesses as a person, prior experience with working as a team, how much you know about Primark and why exactly you want to work for them and what you can offer the company. In the interview, the interviewer will go over your answers and get you to expand on them. As far as I remember, the woman interviewing me had a booklet full of questions and scenarios, she'd pick a few at random and question you on them e.g. you get a rude, aggressive customer who's totally in your face, what do you do? And some other things that are more company specific.

2) I think it was about £5.85 for the people in my induction that were 18+
I'm not sure about your shift patterns as I only worked 4 hours Saturday/Sunday. There's usually always over time available if you're working a close and you could be tidying the shop floor, folding clothes and making sure everything's tidy for when they reopen in the morning.

3) Not a clue, I was only there for 3-ish weeks before I got a new job.

For 3: if you're contracted for Saturdays only, then you're entitled to 4 per year.

Thanks in advance, what happens after the interview, will I get the job or do I have to wait for feedback (if they decide that I should be successful), and is it very easy to get a job there after an interview?

Good Luck x

And what was the interview like, what specific questions did they asked you?

Please reply and thanks in advance if you do x
