First stage is a lengthy online application form. From there you move on to various psychometric tests. The next stage is the video interview. You will have 30 seconds to think before it starts recording and you can speak for 1 or 2 mins depending on the question. Make sure you finish before the timer cuts you off. Its competency based so will ask you to think of a time when you exhibited you were an effective leader, for example. There are 6 questions, the first ones are simply stating your name and the region you wish to work in. The next stage is the group assessment centre. You meet a member of the HR team who will be assessing you and 5 other candidates. You are in a large room, socially distanced round a big table. The first part asks you to introduce yourself, so talking about university, hobbies, and your favourite aldi product. The next part is the individual presentation. You pick a number which correlates to a certain topic and have to do a 3 min presentation on it. Some of the topics on my day were: PR and Marketing, Competitor Analysis, Core Value of Simplicity, Special Buys, Product Branding. You should use your store visit to inform this presentation. You will be asked a follow up question when you finish your presentation. Then there is a short break before the final part. You are given 4 CVs and have to choose who you think is the best person for an imaginary job. You have a minute to present back to everyone who you think should get it. Then the group has 20 mins to discuss who the entire group is going to choose. Halfway through this they introduce a new candidate for you to consider. You then have 2 mins to present back to the assessor as a group. The assessor will then question the groups choice. Be sure to answer these questions as they are open and not directed at a single person. That is the end of the assessment centre.
