Interview
Intimidating. First interview is with other prospects in the same interview along with Aldi recruiters and different hiring managers. You get asked a question and you have to listen to the other candidates answers .
They give you one interview alone and then the second time you compete with other people and the actual purchasers don’t say anything unless asked and then they never say anything after that.

Interview
After submitting a resume I was invited for a phone screening. They were fairly prompt in responding to my resume and the phone screener was polite and knowledgeable. They are very good at identifying if you are qualified for the position. I was not offered a position but they were prompt to inform me instead of simply ignoring me which was very helpful.
