This was for the "job fair" that the Aldi in Tyler, Tx hosted. I went in and tried to introduce myself to the person taking applications and was interrupted by him. He did not let me even say my name. He asked if I wanted to work full-time or part-time and I said part-time since I also am a college student. He then asked if I was working full-time at another job I had listed in the experience box and I said no (I had not worked there in a year). I also tried to give my resume to him along with my application and was told "it wasn't necessary at this time" and to "bring it back if I was called back for an interview". I tried to explain I was not busy all summer or taking any trips and he didn't seem to care. He was extremely rude and short. I was weary about applying for this company since I have heard that they only hire 8-10 people per store. I mean this is for someone to stock groceries not to be the next CEO. I heard about the rigorous interview process from Glassdoor and I think it's ridiculous for a store associate. I think it was a sign this is not the right company for me. I am convinced I did not get called back since I said I only wanted to work part-time.

I was invited to a group interview where we walked around the store and toured the backroom where products are loaded and stocked. This was followed by an individual interview with the store manager.
