My original application was submitted on the 17th October 2017. Four days later I received an email inviting me to an 'Individual Assessment' with a link to follow to choose a day and time slot from the Aldi website; the latter included locations of other Aldi's in addition to the location of the store applied for, for the appointment. On the day of the appointment (31 October) I received an email from Aldi saying the Area Manager was ill and a new appointment email would be sent out to me. I received the latter two days later and arranged for the 'Individual Assessment' on Sunday 19th November 12:15pm. I arrived half an hour earlier and was shown by a member of staff (who I had asked in-store) to the staff room. The interview eventually took place with the Area Manager 10-15mins later than the time given above and was about 12 minutes long (5 minutes of which were taken up by the Aldi Paper Test). After the paper test, the Area Manager concluded by saying I would receive an email within 2 days letting me know whether I would be invited for the 'Aldi Experience' training day at one of their stores.

Started as a group where we were educated on the history and benefits about working at ALDI, and were asked what we think working at ALDI is like. Seemed like a good company with fair pay. The individual interview itself only asked availability.
