ALDI interview questions

Applied via the Aldi web site undertook numerical on-line tests and progressed to video interview. The video interview is time critical as you are counted down after viewing a written question. the guide says that you can review and practice your answers but you cant. I then progressed to a telephone interview. The telephone interview was very formulaic and quite restrictive in how you are able to give your answers. Make sure you have a land line available in case your mobile signal is weak.

Cattle-call interview. 95% of applicants were in their 20s and showed up in torn jeans and t-shirts. I am in my mid-60s and despite the fact that I was dressed professionally and highly-qualified for the position, the very young HR woman took my application and threw it behind her onto a table without ever glancing at it. Told me only that they would "review the applications later" and it they wanted to speak with me further, I would hear from them within 3 days. That was the extent of our conversation. What she didn't realize is that I had been sitting in the room for over 30 minutes, watching and listening to her and another very young HR woman. They were reviewing the applications with each applicant as they turned them in, as well as having somewhat lengthy conversations with each applicant. I had read and heard prior to going to the open "interviews" that Aldi age discriminates. I saw it for myself and it was blatant. They need to train their HR people to not be so obvious. Not only did Aldi pass up a highly reliable and qualified applicant, they lost a customer in the process.
