I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ALDI
Interview
Was called in for a group interview with the area manager. There was me and three other candidates, one of whom I talked to a bit beforehand. We were all asked to introduce ourselves, our work history and why we wanted to work at ALDI. After this, the area manager explained more about the role and asked us questions based on our knowledge of how ALDI operates. I feel like I didn't do well because a lot of the time I had to try and get in an answer before anyone else and couldn't think things through, and there weren't many chances to prove myself, but I received a call for a one-on-one interview.
The one-on-one interview was with the same area manager, and I feel like I did a lot better because I was able to take my time in answering the questions. The main focus of the questions was on difficult customer service situations and work history, as well some maths questions for arithmetic ability. All in all, this was a lot better than the group interview, and the manager told me she would be contacting successful applicants by the end of the week.
Also had to apply for a police check and a medical examination which they do through a service that assigns you to a local clinic. It's been about over a week since the last interview, and heard nothing so I assume I didn't get the job. Ah well, got a free medical.

Interview
It was short and sweet, they sent me a email to book a time to have a phone call with them and a week later I had my interview. I just answered some questions they asked me and said I would get a email reply if I went to the next stage
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me
-tell them more about myself
-why I left my current position
-if I was working there what task would the job require
-why I want to work there
Was overly complicated and too many stages, online test x2 and a recorded interview. Application itself is very tedious and is not very friendly to new users. Apparently you need to know someone already in ALDI to work at there stores.
