Aldi Graduate Scheme 2023

Has anyone had there final MD interview I have mine in a couple of weeks and any tips would be really appreciated

Hi,
The final interview was great the managing director makes you feel really comfortable. They ask you questions about you and want to get to know you as a person which was lovely.
After I completed my online tests I’m sure it was a few days later I got the email for the group assessment.
Hope this helps good luck!

Hi, ive got an online assessment centre soon. I am aware of the general structure, i.e 3 min presentation about store walk, followed by group task, etc, but did you have any top tips, or general advice, you would have found helpfull? Cheers.

Hey - I had mine last week. Haven't received an outcome yet, but here's some general advice I could think of:
- It's a mixture of candidates in the assessment centre (some placement, graduate and grad changers) all applying to different locations - so it's really important that you make sure your answers stand out. You are assessed on Aldi's competencies rather that against each other.

- With the group task, make sure that you get a few words in. The 20 minute discussion goes quickly. Also, try to promote discussion even if everyone happens to agree on a certain aspect of the task.

- If you haven't done your store walk yet make sure you've taken detailed notes as you are assigned a random topic that you have to present back on.

- You will be cut off if you go over time so just make sure you're able to summarise well.

I hope they help - Good Luck!

Nice one thanks for the tips. Were the presentation topics pretty much the same as previously posted. I.e product range, special buys etc.

Hey could you tell me roughly what the majority of the random topics are for the individual presentations as I'm not 100% sure what to prepare for and am stressinggg! Also is there any other testings during the assessment centre like numerical or more psychometric tests or is it just the group tasks and individual presentations? Thanks!

Hi, just out of interest, how long did people wait before hearing back after submitting their application form?

Hi everyone, just thought I'd create a feed for the Aldi Area Manager Grad Scheme for 2022/2023 applicants!
