      Graduate Area Manager Scheme Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at ALDI

      Interview

      I hope this is as detailed and as comprehensive for people as possible. The process so far has taken 3 months, assuming that it is still going. Please read on to understand why it may be…. So firstly is online psychometric testing, following the initial application form. Following this was a set of 3 short online tests: one numeracy based, one verbal reasoning based and one shape recognition sort of thing. Each test has a 3 minute time limit and in those 3 minutes you must analyse the given data and answer 4 questions on that data. Its pretty tough, but I still got to the next stage and I'm sure i didn't even answer one question on the last test! The next stage is the video interview. It was 10 questions in total but the first one is a practice one thats apparently not recorded, but probably best to treat it as the real deal as you never know who's watching! I went through the entire of this thread and collected up all the questions people said they had been asked and made the list below. I made answers for all of them prior to the video interview and I actually had every question covered, so if you have good answers prepared for all of the following, you’ll be fine: Name and location? Introduce yourself? Current employment situation? Why you want to join Aldi? Tell me how well Aldi is performing at the moment.? What is your greatest weakness? Time i dealt with a difficult customer? Why do you think you will be a match for Aldi? Tell me something interesting or surprising about yourself? What do you think the placement will entail? What were/are you studying and how will this benefit you in the role you are applying for? Tell me about your experience so far? Where do you see yourself in five years? An example of drive and ambition? What you did to achieve this ambition? Why you are proud of this example? Example of Time you set high standards? Why are you proud of this example? What did you do to assure that the standards were set high? NOW…….. Earlier i said that its taken 3 months SO FAR. The reason why i hold hope that it is still ongoing is because of this: It’s well known that Aldi are one of these companies that get so much interest in their positions that they do not bother to contact unsuccessful applicants…… 5 days after i completed my video application, I had a a call from a man at the Aldi recruitment team. He did not give his name and was on the phone to me for about a minute at the maximum. He had called to inform me that he was currently reviewing my video application and wanted to advise me he had seen my stubble (tidy and trimmed though it was) and that employees at Aldi are required to be cleanly shaven….. This was now about 3 weeks ago and I haven’t heard since….. Now, why would the recruitment division of a multinational company that is notorious for blanking unsuccessful applicants phone up an applicant to tell them to have a shave??? Has this ever happened to anyone else? It seems like an incredible waste of time for them to do that UNLESS they were interested, wanted to give an anonymous heads up to wet shave for the next stage and/or wanted to keep that applicant interested because they knew it would be a long time until invites went out to the assessment centre. It was people I know who work in recruitment that were the ones that indicated these possibilities to me so this is why I hold a bit of hope still.

      I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Neston, North West England, England)

      Interview

      Really great and quick interview process from HR but I had a poor experience during final interview, it felt much more like an interrogation from the managing director and no feedback after this

      The assessment centre, tests your ability to work in the group and general understanding of aldis operations and products. the interview itself checks your intent, work ethic and how you align with the role. so be hard working determined and you got this!!
