A friend of mine applied last year, after a few days he got a generic letter back from the online application advising of no positions and about 2 weeks after that he got a call from one of the stores that he dropped a CV into and eventually got the job. So my advice is to do both, it cant hurt. Best of luck with it

They filter you out by location, so generally the stores close to your address will be the ones that get your contact details if they need to interview. At interview tell them of your experience in manual labour, how you love a hands on approach and working within a team. Tell them how efficient and accurate you can be with tills and ordering stock if need be.

I know you might not be able to answer this, but would Aldi be able to accommodate someone like me or would I need to be 100% flexible from the get go? My guess is that they would want someone for whenever they need them, but I just thought I'd ask.
Alias090 wrote: » I haven't personally worked there- though I was successful at interview before choosing Lidl but if it's like Lidl ( which seemingly they are!) store managers need a mix of entirely flexible and 10 hour p/w contract staff, particularly for Friday and Saturdays- Sunday not so much as everyone wants to work Sunday for time and a half! So there is a chance you if there are openings. Although, I'd say they would favour the entirely flexible people and stick them on a 10 hour contracts anyways and get them to be on call to cover at the last minute when need be etc! Worth a shot though, good luck
Boeing777 wrote: » Ok thanks I'll apply online anyway and see how I get on. I'll also keep my eyes peeled on the Lidl website for vacancies. There's also about 3 Lidl stores I could work in so hopefully a vacancy will come up soon. Fingers crossed I get something

I was told on the phone it's a group interview, has anyone any experience of their interview process, what they'll expect us to do, questions we'll be asked etc? Cheers!
