I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Chichester, England) in Jul 2017
Interview
Group interview, they herd you in, in groups of 12.
along with all the other cattle that get to this stage "pretty much everyone I assume"
in 1 hour slots on multiple dates and multiple times on those date.
The interviewer talks for 90% of the interview, the other 10% is shared between the 12 saps thinking they actually have a fair chance at a job, you get to introduce yourself, name age and your last couple of jobs, then you're split into 2 groups, told you've survived a plane crash and to pick 3 painfully obvious items from a list.
Then you get handed a sheet of paper to write your name on, and X some boxes to see if you know what 2+2 is. takes about 1 minute.
You're then asked for dates you'll be available for your work trial.
Then you'll get an email a couple of days later 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."
Feels like more of a lottery than an interview process.
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.
I was first givwn the opportunity to join a group assessment, which I passed. I was then asked to attend a face-to-face interview, in-store but the manager did not come into work that day and I was asked to rearrange the interview after waiting for over an hour. Another applicant also turned uo and waited 30 minutes after I arrived
