Question 1
To tell us about ourselves and our favourite Aldi product and favourite part about visiting the shop/ why we want to work there.
Great interview experience but didn't get further. Thanks for the opportunity but I just felt like I wasn't a good fit for the company. Thank you for the opportunity for this interview.
The interview process took 4-6 weeks in total. I initially had a group interview, which was easy enough but did feature a lot of people talking over each other. Then I had a 1-1 interview with the area manager, which lasted about 20 minutes. They asked me standard things like 'Why Aldi?' and 'What can you bring to the role?'. Then I had an interview with the Deputy Store Manager a week later, which featured a walkthrough of the store, duties you'd be expected to perform and then an informal chat to see if you had any questions.
All in all, the process was positive and I seemed to get on well with both the area manager and deputy store manager. However, I was rejected from the role and told that they 'couldn't give me any specific feedback'. This was shocking considering I'd done three interviews with them and spent hours prepping. It's a shame, because they seem like a good company to work for in general, but the whole process feels like a waste of time now.
