Hello! Just received an assessment centre invite for Lidl's marketing graduate scheme. I was wondering if anyone has been to a Lidl AC before and has any tips? Thanks so much

Ah thanks so much - fingers crossed you’ll get in too. I saw the cut off date to respond to the email was the 10/1!

Thank you for giving me a glimper of hope. But ngl was it just me or the interview was SO difficult. The questions were so hard and the time to prepare was so short. Even my waffling was so mehhh, I honestly think it was one of the most hardest interview ive done simply because of the questions and prep time. What did you think about it??

No worries! It was so hard!! When I received the AC invite I was shocked 😂

60 seconds to prepare and 3 minutes to speak was rough. Was definitely the hardest video interview I’ve done! Keep me updated if you receive an invite!

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear! Good luck with your other applications & of course I’ll keep you posted

I reckon they might have considered the cv, cover letter and psychometric scores? I know I got all of right for one of the tests!

Main tip for video interviews is to smile! & be very enthusiastic about the company you’re applying for. Added bonus if you are passionate about it!

Hey! The Assessment centre was amazing, but unfortunately did not get the role (absolutely gutted :frown:)

I am waiting to hear back from a different AC and have another AC soon! How are the applications going for you?

Aww that's a shame, wishing you the best for the others, what did the ac consist of? I've got my first ac on Thursday, nervous but excited, but other than that there's silence from everything else, ☹️

Ah thanks so much! You’re too kind ☺️ this one had an individual presentation which you could prepare for and an interview. Good luck with your AC! Who is it with as I might be able to help? All the ones I’ve got to the final stage are for the Finance / FMCG sector!
