I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (South Windsor, CT) in Mar 2013
Interview
I met a district manager at my university career fair. He asked me some questions about what I knew about Aldi and what motivated me to stop by his booth. Other than that it was just a casual conversation. He took my resume and offered an interview a week later. The first interview lasted 30 minutes and consisted of questions based on personality: tell me about yourself, what qualities can you bring to Aldi, what did your previous jobs entail? Everything went smoothly and I was selected for another interview with a Vice President a week later. I believe the interview went well. Ultimately, I was not what they were looking for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do your friends think about you? What are your hobbies? What is a good work day like for you? How did you handle a confrontational situation with a fellow colleague? Have you had any leadership positions in the past? What did that entail? The most salient detail you should know about is their hypothetical question: You have 5 stores to visit in one day. You go to a store and everything is going well. You go to the second and everything is in chaos because it was a holiday. What do you do? I said that I would help immediately (on hands) and try to stabilize the situation and do damage control and that I would talk to the store manager right after - when the situation died down. My flaw was that I did not address the problem with the other 3 stores - I should have hypothetically called them to see which stores were in chaos.
I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Indianapolis, IN) in Feb 2026
Interview
First round was a video recording having to answer six behavioral questions. You are given about two minutes to answer each question and 30 seconds to prepare for each question.
Resume screen then HireVue, very basic and simple questions. One attempt but you get 30 seconds to prepare. There's also some videos to watch of the hiring manager describing the process.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI in Feb 2025
Interview
4 rounds, not very technical, after the first round, it's just talking to highups to see if you fit the culture. You get the name of the interviewer ahead of time.
