ALDI Manager Trainee interview questions

I took my application and resume to hiring event at a hotel on a Saturday. I was told if they were interested I would receive a call within the next week. I was called the following Monday for an interview with two District managers. I met with the two them who informed me that if they were interested that I will receive a call by the end of the week. I was called back for a second interview the next day. and now I am waiting on a call back.

Honestly, for such a well respected company the interview process was neither informative, nor effective. You basically show up for a cattle call with 100s of people and get interviewed for about 90 seconds. Especially when applying for any kind of supervisory position, this weeding out process seems woefully inadequate. I prepared a resume and cover letter specific to Aldi that the interviewing manager wouldn't take. He said, "we use the application." Well, thanks. You definitely got the "don't call us, we'll call you" feeling from the process. Qualified, interested, and took the time to prepare and dressed the part, but it was not necessary because the interviewing managers were clearly just going through the motions to get through the lines of people. I think a more effective solution would be to have separate lines or stations depending on the position you are applying for. Yes, everyone pitches in to get the job done at Aldi, but clearly there are some defined roles that are different. Asking the same basic questions of a cashier applicant as a management applicant seems, at best, inadequate. I would certainly want to know more from an applicant who desires to run a store or get into district/area management, than someone looking for a part-time job at a good starting hourly rate. Had much higher expectations.
