I applied for the position of store assistant and the first was a series of online questions, some basic maths and situational questions, all of which were multi choice. Within a few days I received an email inviting me to an individual assessment. This consisted of an interview with the area manager during which I was given another 10 multi choice questions with 5 minutes to complete them. Just basic maths stuff again and being able to pick out correct barcodes and products. For a job interview it was fairly relaxed. I initially had to go through my life history and then I was asked why I wanted to work at Aldi, and what qualities and abilities I could apply to the role. There was also one scenario based question about a customer dropping some eggs on the floor and what you would do. Later that day I received an email inviting me to a store experience day. Mine was a week later and consisted of 2 hours in my local store where I spoke to the manager, assistant manager, and worked with some of the staff doing various roles to see if it still appealed. Although I was told it may take a few days to hear if I was successful, I received an email with a job offer within hours.

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.
