Interview
I applied online on the 13th Nov, received an email for me to go a group interview on 5th Oct. You're given a link to pick a time (3 time slots: 9,10,11am) which was on the 7th Oct. The interview was at one of their stores and was relatively informal. About 6 of us around a table in which were we to introduce ourselves and what we knew about Aldi. The area manager told us information about Aldi and gave us a store tour. After we had a one on one where we were asked our availability. We were then told that in 2 days if we had got through to the next stage, if so it'd be the store manager of your chosen store.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
To tell us about ourselves and our favourite Aldi product and favourite part about visiting the shop/ why we want to work there.
Great interview experience but didn't get further. Thanks for the opportunity but I just felt like I wasn't a good fit for the company. Thank you for the opportunity for this interview.
The interview process took 4-6 weeks in total. I initially had a group interview, which was easy enough but did feature a lot of people talking over each other. Then I had a 1-1 interview with the area manager, which lasted about 20 minutes. They asked me standard things like 'Why Aldi?' and 'What can you bring to the role?'. Then I had an interview with the Deputy Store Manager a week later, which featured a walkthrough of the store, duties you'd be expected to perform and then an informal chat to see if you had any questions.
All in all, the process was positive and I seemed to get on well with both the area manager and deputy store manager. However, I was rejected from the role and told that they 'couldn't give me any specific feedback'. This was shocking considering I'd done three interviews with them and spent hours prepping. It's a shame, because they seem like a good company to work for in general, but the whole process feels like a waste of time now.
