Sollicitatiegesprek
I applied online after seeing an advertisement in my local paper, two weeks later I received a text from the district manager inviting me to a interview a few days later. All I was given was a Date, Time and Location, no information of any ID/Right to Work Document. I was under the impression it would simply be a 1-to-1 interview, but it turned out to be a small group interview. It started off us each giving a small bit of information about ourselves, we were then separated into two smaller groups and we had to give some information about ALDI and answer some basic questions. After relaying back to District manager (who was conducting the interview) we then had to come up with a new product for ALDI, after that we had a small 'presentation' about what it's like working for ALDI and were given the opportunity to ask questions. Finally we had 1-to-1 interviews to finish.

Virtual group interview having to prioritise tasks in a typical working day. Was around 6 of us on the call plus the interviewer and we had to work together to prioritise what tasks are most and least urgent from a list given to us.

To tell us about ourselves and our favourite Aldi product and favourite part about visiting the shop/ why we want to work there.
Great interview experience but didn't get further. Thanks for the opportunity but I just felt like I wasn't a good fit for the company. Thank you for the opportunity for this interview.
The interview process took 4-6 weeks in total. I initially had a group interview, which was easy enough but did feature a lot of people talking over each other. Then I had a 1-1 interview with the area manager, which lasted about 20 minutes. They asked me standard things like 'Why Aldi?' and 'What can you bring to the role?'. Then I had an interview with the Deputy Store Manager a week later, which featured a walkthrough of the store, duties you'd be expected to perform and then an informal chat to see if you had any questions.
All in all, the process was positive and I seemed to get on well with both the area manager and deputy store manager. However, I was rejected from the role and told that they 'couldn't give me any specific feedback'. This was shocking considering I'd done three interviews with them and spent hours prepping. It's a shame, because they seem like a good company to work for in general, but the whole process feels like a waste of time now.
