ALDI Store Assistant interview questions

The first thing to point out is; I applied to an advert which stated a specific post code, however at the interview thy told me that they were recruiting for multiple stores and if successful might be placed somewhere else. Over all Do not apply unless you REALLY want to work at Aldi; their whole process is there to weed out people who are not commited. Also the whole process is so long winded that you'd just be wasting your time job hunting if you are not committed. I applied online, with an application form that included some personality test questions, some basic maths and some scenario multiple choice to see if you are the right fit. Then I was asked to do a video interview: this is 4 questions which you get a limited time to answer. I think the main thing here is to show enthusiasm and to present yourself well. Finally I was asked to an interview in an Aldi store 8 miles away from the store I was applying to. As I don't drive this involved a 15 minute train ride and a half hour walk each way. I arrived at the store a little early, found someone to tell me where I should go and they showed me into the staff room to wait. They came back to tell me there would be a a 15 to 20 minute wait. 40 minutes later I was still waiting, went to find someone and they showed me to a completely different part of the building where the interviewers had been waiting for me! They did appologise for the miscommunication. The area manager for my area was then unable to sit in because they were on the phone to someone. The interview itself was quite hard, with follow up questions, so they really picked apart my responses. If I had been successful at that stage then the next stage would have been a Aldi experience day or trial shift to everyone else.

I did an online video interview which was about 5 minutes (pre-recorded) and a 3 weeks later I was invited to an in person interview in the store. The manager asked basic questions that had already been asked in the video interview and I did a short numerical test.
