Applied online, had a call back a week later (turned out to be a telephone interview: Why Lidl? Are you looking for full/part time? Any days that you can't work? What of the following 3 locations (xxx) would you be willing to work in?). I answered these and was instantly invited to a 1:1 (1st Stage) interview for the following week. Interview: recruitment representative, Area Manager, Trainee Deputy Store Manager. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. They asked some questions and told me about the company and my future role. It was over in 20 min. They said I will get an answer within 3-5 working days. My interview was on Tuesday, they gout back to me on Monday the following week and offered me the job. A very good experience. (I was surprised not to get a 2nd stage interview but it might have been because I had previous supermarket experience).
