I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI in Mar 2019
Interview
I completed the online assessment in March 2019 and got offered to come to a group assessment for 60 minutes.
Turned up at Aldi and asked the checkout guy where to go, he was kind and showed me to the staffroom. A few minutes later the other two candidates arrived underdressed which made me in a suit feel a little uncomfortable but its always best to dress appropriately.
The Area Manager comes in, gives us some info about Aldi for around 5 minutes then asks us to tell us a little about ourselves. I was last and the other two went first and were very brief, mine lasted a little longer but felt uncomfortable again as the others were short and sweet. After this, we asked a couple of questions and that was it.
Just do a one-on-one 10-15 minute interview, it lets people be themselves a little more and this was an absolute joke!
Prep time, driving time and money wasted, what a complete shambles and waste of peoples time. I won't be applying with Aldi again.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us a bit about yourself?
Why do you want to work for Aldi?
Had a group online interview and I felt it was very hard to get any point across and it felt very over the top and the process seemed too long for what the job actually was
Started as a group where we were educated on the history and benefits about working at ALDI, and were asked what we think working at ALDI is like. Seemed like a good company with fair pay. The individual interview itself only asked availability.
I was first givwn the opportunity to join a group assessment, which I passed. I was then asked to attend a face-to-face interview, in-store but the manager did not come into work that day and I was asked to rearrange the interview after waiting for over an hour. Another applicant also turned uo and waited 30 minutes after I arrived
