ALDI Retail Assistant interview questions

Applied online and was contacted 4 weeks later to attend a group interview at an Aldi store. Our group was led to the shelving in one of the isles and asked to comment on what was different to other supermarkets. Lots of discussion about boxes, products , labeling and specials. Then into the Lunchroom/Staffroom for a 'tell us about yourself' and 'why you want to work for Aldi' around the table talk. Interviewer could not answer the amount of hours that were available per week, this was asked a couple of times and could only answer it depended on how hard you worked and that it was a physically and mentally demanding job. We were all left wondering was it a full time, part time or casual position ? My advice...leave your pride at the door, grovel, smile alot and practice your politically correct answers, you may get the phone call back that day for your follow up interview or you will receive your very kind rejection email the next day. A sad and demoralising experience .

Applied online and received email for group interview a week later. The group interview was in the staff room and fairly informal. Another week later received invitation for one-on-one interview. Both interviews were conducted by the area manager who seemed very professional. Did not get the job.
