      Retail Assistant Interview

      14 Sept 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sheffield, England
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Primark (Sheffield, England) in Sept 2016

      Interview

      I initially applied online and received a phone call the next day for an interview and was asked to bring ID and national insurance number. When I arrived at Primark (Medowhall-Sheffield)I was escorted to the canteen where I filled out another form (almost identical to the one online except on paper). I was then lead to a room for a 1 on 1 interview, the woman I spoke to was very friendly and i was very nervous as it was my first interview. She acknowledged that and asked the questions listed below. She then asked when I was available (for shifts) She kept saying 'Perfect' and 'that's very good' She then went on to ask if I had any questions for her and I said no. She asked me what I was studying at Sixth Form and then told me the uniform code and how much I would earn an hour. The interview was only today but from how it went I hope I get it.
