I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Birmingham, England) in Jun 2013
Interview
Attended group interview day. This was the only part of the process I attended and it's difficult to write 50 words to that effect. I'm still well short of where I need to be but it's hard to add more description to this. A fire alarm went off at one point which gave us a chance to see a bit more of the building. Also, this was about a week after the horse meat scandal and of course someone brought it up.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Sat round in a group for a while and learned about the history of Aldi. Everyone gave a short presentation as to why they think they'd be a good manager. There was a simply maths tests that you have about 10 minutes to complete.

Interview
The process was of online application followed by psychometric testing, followed by a video interview and then I got as a far as the assessment centre. The video interview isn't that difficult if you prepare some short concise answers about your competencies. The assessment centre is tough, only lasts two hours. You have to also go on a store visit beforehand and present on this at the interview.

Interview
2 stages, a group interview (which includes maths and verbal reasoning tests) followed by a face to face interview. Initial contact was good but was surprised to turn up on the day and see 15 other people there. The group interview was a waste of time. You had two opportunities to speak and state your case. The first was when asked to introduce yourself and the second was when asked to speak about your greatest achievement. Everyone except me spoke about their placement years in retail. Despite the fact they advertise that retail is not important, I got the feeling that it was expected and the whole interview was a waste of my time.
