I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lidl (Basildon, East of England, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
Super easy, offered me the job in the interview! mainly asked me about how many hours I can work and my flexibility with working hours. If you have previous retail experience the interview is straightforward
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How many years of customer service experience do you have?
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.
