I went to a job fair they were having at a local hotel conference room. They had tables with application on them and a line waiting to speak with a woman sitting at a table. I came prepared with my prefilled application and a resume and went straight to the line. You could hear her asking basic questions like:
Are you available full time or part time?
Schedule restrictions?
Why Aldi?
Why did you leave your last job? Etc...
When I spoke with her she did go into a little bit more detail because I was applying for a management position. Wanted to know about my management experience. How many people I managed. What type of retail was it? It was basically a screening. I asked a few questions and she told me I should hear something in the next week. She called me that night and asked me to come to the store the next day. Once there we met and did a "get to know you" type of interview. We also talked about benefits, pay, expectations, etc. Once that was over she asked me to wait around on the manager. Once he came and got me, we walked around the store he showed me day to day type of operations, then we went into a full blown interview with detailed questions while we were walking around. He was awesome. They have more interviews next week so I should get an answer after that. I'm feeling confident. It seems like a super fast paced environment and that is something I am looking for.
