      Customer Assistant Interview

      12 Jan 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Hartlepool, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (Hartlepool, England) in Jan 2017

      Interview

      Applied online, got a call about a week later which involved a short interview with questions like 'What drew you to apply for the job?' and asked if I was aware that there could be early starts and late finishes, and then was invited to an interview the following day. The interview was 1-1 with the manager and assistant manager which involved questions about availability, some scenario type questions and questions about previous experience. We then talked about benefits of the job, type of work to be carried out. Was told they would call back next week with a decision but got a call back two days later offering me the job :)

      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.

      Application

      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.

      Why Lidl? What hours can you do? Where can you see yourself working in the shop?
