I applied online. I interviewed at Lidl (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2019
Interview
The interview was in the local store with the two shop managers. It was about 25 minutes long. It flew by. Both interviewers was very nice and friendly. They told me about the company and went through my cv.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (Greystones) in Feb 2019
Interview
I applied via the online application process which was fairly straightforward and didn't take too long. After a week I was invited to interview in the store with the manager and a HR rep. Interview took about 30 mins and was fairly informal and very friendly. The interview took place on a Friday and I got a call on the following Tuesday to say that pending a verbal reference I would be offered the job. I got email confirmation on the Thursday. Three weeks total from online application.
Telephone interview with someone from HR, followed by face to face with the store manager; both very friendly and professional interviews. The most important thing is that you're hardworking, so as long as you are, and have some evidence of this, everything will be good!
