I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lidl (Waltham Cross, England)
Interview
First applied online and got a phone call a few days later in which I had to call for a telephone interview I then was told that I passed the initial questions, I then got an email informing that I will need to go to an interview which involved 2 people, my area manager and another gentleman, this is where the scenario questions are involved and more understanding about you.
I then was emailed that I was successful and was asked in for a final stage interview, this involved me going down to the store and doing tasks, my store manager was with me while asking some questions about my work experience and also why lidl, this then followed a one to one interview.
After this I was brought into a room with my store manager and area manager and got told that I got the job!
All I would say is lidl is looking for people who want to progress and can see that you want to and have potential, you have to be hard working and show you want it.
No point attending the interview if you do not want to stay there that long.
they introduce themselves and then you have to introduce yourself and tell them about yourself and they tell you what is the interview process and then they start asking the interview questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lidl (Exeter, England)
Interview
It was a telephone interview. It was pretty straight forward and short. Asked me about my availability, how do I commute?, short summary of my resume, have I every attended an interview for lidl in the past three months.

Question 1
Why do I want to work in lidl out of all the other retailers?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Lidl (London, England) in Jul 2026
Interview
Scripted questions that were very simple if you have had any sort of retail/ service experience so nothing too outlandish. Would suggest to come prepared with some basic knowledge of retail before hand is you are unfamiliar.
