      Trainee Area Manager Interview

      Mar 6, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl in Mar 2020

      Interview

      The process was relatively fast. I was invited to telephone interview and the same day I was rejected. Honestly if you want to get a job at Lidl fake the interview. The recruiters want to hear specific things. So your answers have to kind of automated and predermined. Visit a career site get the best answers and use them during the interview even if you have to lie for most of them. No personal judgement allowed. Fake your answers and you will get the job.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lidl (Southampton, England) in Jul 2021

      Interview

      Straight forward process, good recruitment team. Unfortunately the company culture does not match the brand's reputation hence such large number of senior positions advertised as existing team is not keen to apply for them...
