ALDI Store Manager interview questions

Was contacted by a third party company at my current job with regard to the initial interview. I was appreciative, however requested that I not be contacted at my current employer. I called the 3rd party back and set up the interview later that day. I was AGAIN contacted at my job with regard to the interview, the individual thought it was funny that I insisted on not being contacted at work. I did however partake in the first interview which was a group interview of approximately 8 candidates. I was selected to partake in the 2nd interview, in which I was told that I was overqualified due to my experience in multi-unit management. I was then assured that Aldi does not promote from within and dismissed. VERY DISHEARTENING.
