I applied online. I interviewed at Primark in Mar 2025
Interview
I applied online and received an email later that day with different contracts and asked to choose which ones I would be willing to do. I was then sent an email asking about interview availability and then booked an interview slot. It was a one-on-one, 15-30 minute interview with one of the managers. They went through a booklet with questions, mostly competency-based. It was a relaxed, informal interview.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you made a mistake and what you learned from it?
Tell me about a time you had to make a difficult decision and how you made it? Followed up by asking if there was anything you would have done differently.
They asked around four typical STAR interview questions that are simple to answer with prep and it lasted about ten to fifteen minutes. It was overall good and very relaxed.
