I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Cork) in Aug 2020
Interview
Aldi's online application is more comprehensive than the higher level leaving cert English exams. I feel like it takes ages to hear anything from them, but you get entered into a candidate pool and emailed to interview eventually. I got a call from a girl in Wilton who called me by the wrong name initially, sounded totally disinterested and spoke far too quickly and quietly to be understood. The phone interview was scheduled to be a total of 10 minutes long which seems a bit rude? considering the amount of effort candidates put in to the online application. I could tell from her tone on the call that I was not going to be successful. Standard email the next day saying I wouldn't be progressing. Disappointing really. I would have liked to work for Aldi.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about teamwork and how I prepared myself for the last job I had.
Group interview where you had to role-play scenarios about working in the store. Hard to actually get a word in and it was online which made it even more difficult.
Had a group online interview and I felt it was very hard to get any point across and it felt very over the top and the process seemed too long for what the job actually was
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.
