Had a group online interview and I felt it was very hard to get any point across and it felt very over the top and the process seemed too long for what the job actually was
I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Sligo) in Sep 2017
Interview
Complete waste of time. I applied online. Two weeks later, I was invited to a 'Group Assessment' along with 18 other applicants. Although, we were the last group so there were probably about 80 applicants in total going for 4-6 positions. We were asked to do two maths tests (5 minutes each), which I believe I did quite well in. We were then split into groups of 4-5 and given a scenario where we had been in airplane crash and asked to rank a bunch of items based on how important they would be in that scenario (map, clothes etc.). Essentially, it was a waste of time and I regret even attending, especially after reading some of the other reviews on Glassdoor. It's basically a lottery to see who gets an interview because I don't see how they choose the right interview candidates based on that group assessment.
Started as a group where we were educated on the history and benefits about working at ALDI, and were asked what we think working at ALDI is like. Seemed like a good company with fair pay. The individual interview itself only asked availability.
I was first givwn the opportunity to join a group assessment, which I passed. I was then asked to attend a face-to-face interview, in-store but the manager did not come into work that day and I was asked to rearrange the interview after waiting for over an hour. Another applicant also turned uo and waited 30 minutes after I arrived
