I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (Braga) in Aug 2021
Interview
I applied through the company website, and they called me a few weeks later to schedule an online interview. This was the only phase required back then (2021), and I believe it still is like that.
Interview questions [1]

They ask if you are willing to work on weekends ad night shifts. 3 qualities about yourself and 3 bad things as well. After that, they ask you about your background and how you deal with working within a busy environment. They usually ask simple questions and it's an easy interview.
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.
