Online assessment: Easy, multiple choice maths questions and various possible scenarios you would encounter as a store assistant. Took about 45 minutes, hardest part was taking the time to manually enter all your CV and personal info. A few days later I received an email inviting me to a group interview. Group Interview: There were eight of us. One person didn't turn up and we were the second group of the day. Interviewer mentioned that he had several groups to meet so competition is tough. Began with introducing ourselves to the group (Tip: Some people rambled on which didn't come across great in my opinion so try to avoid that). We then did a timed 5 minute written test consisting of ten questions, similar to the online assessment. The final part of the interview involved our group being split into 2 teams and listing 11 items in terms of importance after your plane crashes in Canada during Winter. (Example: A pistol, spare clothes, axe, canvas cover, lighter, mirror, chocolate bar etc) Received an email next day letting me know that I didn't get the position and was quite disappointed as I felt that it went really well. I think the fact that I was a student put them off and the work is very physically demanding and I know I do not come across as someone very strong perhaps? However at the end of the day it was a great interview process and the area manager who carried our the interview was very nice and professional and explain the role, pay and benefits thoroughly.

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.
