I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (Saint Austell, England) in Mar 2021
Interview
very positive so far. Online application and then some assessments (situational questions mainly) - good format and easy to use as well as not being timed so don't have to rush your answers. Following this is a short telephone interview and then in store interview with the manager if successful.

Question 1
Give an example where you have given exceptional customer service
Very straightforward process.
One person interviewed me and asked a few questions.
Did not last more than an hour, if that.
I had one interview and then an offer was made.
Phone interview and then in person interview. Pretty quick and easy and doesn’t take long to hear back. Questions are pretty standard like ‘why Lidl?’ and ‘what’s your favourite item we sell’. Also a few scenario based questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lidl (Cardiff, Wales) in Jan 2026
Interview
Really nice manager and chill atmosphere. Didn't ask me any scenario based questions or any that I had to provide a "star" like paragraph; more focused on how prepared/ committed/ able you are to do a lot of work.
