I recently had an interview at Lidl for a store associate position and it was a great experience. The process started with a phone screen followed by an in-person interview with the store manager and HR representative. The interviewers were friendly and professional, making me feel comfortable throughout the process. They asked questions related to my previous work experience, customer service skills, and how I handle challenging situations. I also had a chance to ask questions about the company and the role. Overall, I felt that the interview was well-organized and gave me a good understanding of what to expect if I were to join the Lidl team.
It was a conversation with the manager. He asked me about my experience, where I thought I’d be in 5 years, why I wanted to work there, and similar type interview questions.
Overall, it was a basic interview process. They asked about experience and why someone would be a good fit for the role. Just have some well-thought-out answers to common interview questions beforehand, and you should be fine.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (Fresh Meadows, NY) in Jun 2025
Interview
Really easy interview process. Simple behavioral questions and scenario questions. Little to no pressure, very laid back. You should know the companies overall message and use that while interviewing for this position. Almost anyone can get hired, with or without experience.
