Lidl Deputy Store Manager interview questions

The Interview process was easy. I did my interview in 2013 when the company was a lot different to what it is now to be honest. I got a phone call from the SOM asking to come in and have a chat after I applied for the role 6 months before. I later found out it takes lidl so long to get back to you because their ways of shortlisting candidates is by using very old technology, so a lot of applications are missed! So don't be disappointed if you don't get any calls. Interview 1: Head of Operations Manager: One on One Interview She was supposed to ask me questions however it was evident she had no prepared questions and so we had a discussion/debate about how the foods market was going for about half an hour (E.g. Competition in market, Where the company will be in 2 years? Where the market will be in future? etc). More of a debate that you would have amongst your university peers, but it was good because I am passionate about food and business so I could contend with her knowledge. Interview 2: Area Manager After successfully getting through that stage. My next stage of the interview was to do a in-store trial with the local area manager where you had to perform a few tasks (I believe this part of the process has bee scrapped due to labour laws). I was asked basic questions about my background and about me and then told to perform some tasks around the store such as a stack shelves and fruit and veg quality check which I sucked at to be honest. Got through and was given the job so it was all good.
