Aldi only hires through hiring events. Of course, during these events there are thousands of people applying for the same job. If you want to get noticed, I suggest that you dress professionally, smile, and shake the hands of the recruiters. At the event, all they require you to do is fill out an application. I suggest filling it out beforehand so that you look prepared. Also, attach a resume and cover letter with your application. A week after I attended one of these hiring events I received a call for an interview. They told me that this would be a three interview process and the first interview would only take about twenty minutes. At this interview, I met with the branch manager and the store manager. The branch manager basically went through my resume asked questions about each job and my educational history. I did not receive a call back after this interview. I am a recent college graduate and I told him that I am very interested in moving up in the company and possibly working for corporate someday. I think this ruined my chances; they saw me as overqualified and did not want to risk hiring me only for me to leave for a better job soon after.

I was invited to a group interview where we walked around the store and toured the backroom where products are loaded and stocked. This was followed by an individual interview with the store manager.
