      Buying Assistant Interview

      Aug 14, 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI

      Interview

      -Submitted application and resume online -Approximately 1-2 weeks later got an email to set up phone screening -Phone screening lasted 30 minutes, lots of questions about previous employment history, why interested in the position, etc. Afterward, I was instructed to take various skills tests online (Excel, Word, reading, math, typing). -Received an email a few days later to schedule an in person interview -In-person interview #1 with two buying directors. Overall, a decent experience. Again, mostly questions about work history, specific questions about tasks related to previous positions, why Aldi, and a couple behavioral questions (tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult person). I was told that I would hear back in a couple days. -Received a phone call two days later that they wanted me to come in for a second in-person interview. I also had to submit 3 professional references. ALDI actually did contact each of them. -In-person interview #2 with a buying director and group buying director. Before the actual interview, I was taken on a 30 minute tour of the building with two individuals from HR. Many of the questions asked were identical to those from the first interview. Surprisingly, no behavioral questions were asked. I was told that I would hear back in 2-3 days. -A few days later, I received a generic, “do not reply” email stating that I had not been extended an offer. While I was quite disappointed that I had not received an offer, I was completely bewildered by the fact that I was sent a generic email after 6 weeks of interviewing with this company.
