I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Gravesend, England) in Apr 2018
Interview
I came in early and waited by the tills until the interviewer was ready to sit with me. He began by telling me the store I had applied for had no vacancies at the moment but if I was successful I would still hear from them in 7 days, but I would have to wait for a vacancy to open up. He then asked me if I would still like to continue the interview knowing that. I said yes since I was already there even though it was quite frustrating they couldn't have said that over the phone or email. Overall the interview was okay EXCEPT for the situational test/question he asked me, initially I thought I had answered correctly but then he kept asking me about the crying baby which for the life of me I could not see the relevance :\ It went downhill from there....
Situational test:
You have been asked to unload a full pallet on the shop floor, but then the tills ring for assistance. You notice that there is a lady with an overloaded trolley & crying baby in her hand approaching the till that you will be covering. What do you do?
Group interview where you had to role-play scenarios about working in the store. Hard to actually get a word in and it was online which made it even more difficult.
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.
