I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (Colwyn Bay, Wales) in Jun 2018
Interview
One on one interview. Was very straight forward, the interviewer asked the usual questions such as why you want the job, hours you can work/flexibility and then went on to some strategy questions. Lasted about half an hour, wasn’t difficult, seems like a very friendly enviromment.

Question 1
If only you and one other colleague are in the store today and you’re both on the checkout, what would you address first if you saw a puddle on the floor but the checkouts are very busy and you notice that there’s no milk out on the shop floor?
Very straightforward process.
One person interviewed me and asked a few questions.
Did not last more than an hour, if that.
I had one interview and then an offer was made.
Phone interview and then in person interview. Pretty quick and easy and doesn’t take long to hear back. Questions are pretty standard like ‘why Lidl?’ and ‘what’s your favourite item we sell’. Also a few scenario based questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lidl (Cardiff, Wales) in Jan 2026
Interview
Really nice manager and chill atmosphere. Didn't ask me any scenario based questions or any that I had to provide a "star" like paragraph; more focused on how prepared/ committed/ able you are to do a lot of work.
