I recently interviewed for a retail assistant position at Aldi in Belmont on 06/08/2024 and found the experience to be highly unprofessional. The interviewer, whose name I did not catch, displayed a dismissive and disrespectful attitude throughout the process. When I mentioned my residence, the interviewer rudely cut me off, claiming she already knew the location and making me feel belittled. Additionally, when discussing my experience with manual lifting from a previous job, the interviewer interrupted me accusingly, questioning why I hadn’t mentioned that experience earlier and muttering under her breath. This made me feel unfairly scrutinized rather than fairly evaluated based on my skills. Her repeated remarks about needing to "earn respect" and "compete for extra hours," along with her implication that I was undeserving of fair consideration, were deeply discouraging and degrading. Overall, the interview process was unprofessional and left me questioning the fairness of Aldi’s hiring practices. I hope my concerns will be addressed to improve the experience for future candidates.

It was short and sweet, they sent me a email to book a time to have a phone call with them and a week later I had my interview. I just answered some questions they asked me and said I would get a email reply if I went to the next stage
