Lidl graduate programme?

lightspeed

Hi all

I was at the Lidl graduate assessment day recently and made it to speed interview stage.

Im just wondering if anyone knows how long before they get in touch to arrange a 2nd interview?

I heard some say a few days and others a few weeks. The closing date was October last year and they only interviewed on days ago so the whole recruitment process seems quite long. The timeline of few weeks may well be the case.

Im curious to know as im in a new job at the moment that isnt quite what i hoped it would be and not sure if i should look elsewhere or wait a few weeks.

Also can anyone advise what working in their head office is like? are the hours long?

Ive heard from several sources that area manager jobs in store are very hard going, stressfull with long hours.

The lad who was leading my stream around said we'd know in ten days.

Hi i am also waiting for them to get back. In the interview they said 10 days and i think they said by march everything will be over. Hoping to hear from them this week.

Thanks im assuming its the same then for all streams and they letting people know 10 days from when we interviewed and not just within 10 days.

Fingers crossed we will know by end of the week one regardless of the outcome.

I was told 2-3 weeks, and that it'd be all sorted before exams in April. Should know whether we're called to interview by 24th of Feb maybe. Real difficult to get into the graduate programme, but it always nice to know.

Can't offer advice on the Head Office, but I know 3 folk who started as Graduate Area Managers, 2 left, one after 2 months and the other after 6 and the 3rd person loves it and is still there.

Hi, just wondering if anyone who got through to the interview stage has heard back yet? Or if anyone knows how long it should take to hear if we got through or not?
