I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (Dudley, England) in Sep 2017
Interview
Pretty easy and quick interview. Received a phone call inviting me to an interview then asked to wait in the waiting area. Was taken into an office where my passport and national insurance number were photocopied than asked the usual questions like 'why do you want to work for us?' and 'what do you know about Primark?'. Also, some scenario questions. The manager who I did my interview with was also very friendly and I can't wait to start!
