We reached out to Primark by email to arrange an interview for my client, who has autism and was looking for a retail job. They were really helpful and made some reasonable adjustments for us, like giving us an extra 30 minutes to get ready before the interview. Even though my client didn't get the job in the end, the experience boosted their confidence for future interviews and was a good learning opportunity. We were so thankful for Primark's understanding - definitely don't hesitate to ask for any reasonable adjustments you might need!
