I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Primark (London, England) in Oct 2015
Interview
I first applied online and I got a response the next day. I got called for an interview the next day at short notice with an allocated time. The person who called me was very rushed with his conversation, asking if i was still interested and available for the interview, which i said yes. I arrived at the interview with about 35 minutes to spare and was sent to wait in the canteen. As i was early, the interviewer came in saying the name of another lady who also had an interview, however she was not there so i assumed she was late. He then decided to invite me inside to have my interview extra early which i was not prepared for because i wanted to calm down a little bit before i went in. All the things i revised for and the questions i practiced for was asked, except one where i took an extra long pause and didn't actually have an answer to. Then i was asked to try to sell him an item - This was the part where I thought i failed the interview in an instant. As it was my first ever interview, i didn't really know how i would feel after it, but i honestly felt neutral like i didn't feel relieved or unhappy about the interview.
He said i would hear back from him later that day if successful or not. I got a phone call with an offer! I was ecstatic.

Interview
I applied online and got a call for an interview very quickly, and then had the interview the previous week. Was kept waiting for around 30 minutes after my scheduled time which was pretty bad, but the interview itself was easy enough and the manager was nice to me considering it was my first interview.
