I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Bolton, England) in Sep 2017
Interview
Applied online, received an email within a week to choose an interview time on a set date around 2 weeks later (other options are available if you can not make it). The interview was 1-2-1 with area manager, when not answering set interview questions it seemed more of a relaxed 15 minute casual conversation. Received an email the next day saying:
"Thank you for your recent application. Unfortunately on this occasion you have not been successful.
Due to the high volume of applications that we receive, we are unable to provide specific feedback to individual candidates.
We would welcome applications from you in the future, however please note that for the next 12 months you will be unable to reapply."
Scenario: "It's a busy Saturday afternoon, a customer wants to buy a leg of lamb thinking it is at a reduced price, this item has no reduced label on, you know there are some leg of lambs that are reduced when on the date of expiry. However, you see this leg of lamb still has a week left, what would you do?"
Stores are particularly busy at weekends, can you work weekends? We start are early as 6am and as late as past 10pm, would you be willing to work those times?
At Aldi we are a small team of people, sometimes doing up to 15 jobs each and that is how we keep the prices for customers so low. Within a group of people there can be conflict, can you tell me about a time you experienced conflict within a team and how you resolved it?

Interview
I worst interview process ever! I wouldn't recommend anyone to waste their time applying. You all go in like sheep where you under go a unfair process of a group assessment. It doesnt matter how much experience you have or how good of a worker you are because the employers never really give you a good chance to speak or ask you questions one on one. They say they want the best well they just let one of the best go all because a no one-on-one interview. And their be glad to know they have lost one customer that will never be shopping at aldi again
I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Stourbridge, Engeland) in Aug 2017
Interview
Go through the online application process if you are successful, then you are invited to an interview. During this interview you are asked 3 questions. The manager who interviewed me was very nice even though I do think I didn't get it, as one question led to me really ruining the interview. First question I was asked was what do you know about Aldi. The second question about is abit about yourself (besides professional side) e.g. Hobbies etc etc, then you are asked about your work experience and then given a questionnaire mathematical and bar code questions as presented online. Then asked about flexibility etc etc. However the second question regarding previous work experience made me ruin everything that came afterwards, nevertheless it was a great experience.
