ALDI Store Manager Trainee interview questions

I drove one hour to what was considered a job fair. (In reality, it was merely a drop off your application or resume) A quick "this is all we are doing today, thank you" was my total experience for this. I did receive a call for an interview two weeks later and drove another hour for this interview. It was by far the worst interview I believe I have ever had. After the initial hello's, it seemed like I was questioned about my ability to do the job, the fact that I had a bachelor's and 28 years of managerial experience did not seem to even be considered and I, almost felt like, the minute the DM saw that I was older, hispanic, with a degree gave me the sense that she had preconceived idea about me. I asked about the DM program and was told that it was a long process for in-store personnel. Although ALDI has both an DM in training program as well as a internship program. If you do not go to A&M or UT or UofH. You will not be considered for anything such as this. I was told you have to have a Bachelor's degree in Business and at least a 3.5GPA, none of which is stated on their website. (By the way, I have a Bachelor's of Fine Arts and I graduated with honors with a 3.69 GPA) But I truly felt like since i was older and not the right color, I felt like I would not belong. Sure enough, this DM never called me back.

There were allot of people, waited 45 minutes to be interviewed. The ask direct question, you must answer quickly and accurately. It's easy going yet slightly intense. The first interview is in the middle of the store. It's one on one but there are people interviewing with others right next to you. Do your research and know how to plug your research into answers
