I applied in-person. I interviewed at Lidl in Feb 2021
Interview
It was very simple and straight forward they give you plenty of on the job training and it was very simple to transition what you learnt into the workplace. The interview was very quick and did not take too long to do. During the interview you also get perspective of the job from another workers pov and they explained the job role.
Very straightforward process.
One person interviewed me and asked a few questions.
Did not last more than an hour, if that.
I had one interview and then an offer was made.
Phone interview and then in person interview. Pretty quick and easy and doesn’t take long to hear back. Questions are pretty standard like ‘why Lidl?’ and ‘what’s your favourite item we sell’. Also a few scenario based questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lidl (Cardiff, Wales) in Jan 2026
Interview
Really nice manager and chill atmosphere. Didn't ask me any scenario based questions or any that I had to provide a "star" like paragraph; more focused on how prepared/ committed/ able you are to do a lot of work.
