I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Primark (Irvine, Scotland) in Jun 2019
Interview
I applied last month and expected not to get the job as I have been unsuccessful with Primark in the past but I received a phone call on Sunday asking for an interview! I had to apologise to the manager as I had an interview on the Monday when they wanted me in but they rescheduled for the next day. The interview was relaxed and fairly easy with one of the managers. I chatted to the lady on the phone in person and she was very nice! Along with the lady on the customer service desk. I got a call six hours after the interview to say I had got the job and I start this Saturday for my induction! A quick process.
There’s an exam first at home then an in person interview, it’s one manager interviewing you and it’s quite short, they don’t ask too many questions just know your CV and being able to work flexible hours helps

Questions you would expect in majority retail roles. Questions about shop floor interactions. Customer interactions etc. There's only a few questions. Interview focuses the most on your soft skills and your approach to the retail environment.
