I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at ALDI (Tampa, FL) in Jan 2015
Interview
The only way to get hired is to go to a local hiring event, where you turn in your application and resume. They ask you if you are 18+, and if you have a high school diploma or equivalent. They then take your information and they will call if interested. Very quick & informal.
