The first being that if they do, then you can discuss the issues and gives you another chance, and if they don't, then they are reinforcing to themselves that you'd be a capable appointment.

Also the questions are likely to be along the lines of tell me a situation where you worked as a team/under pressure/had to go the extra mile etc, so I'd have a load of those answers prepared in advance. Look at the desirable checklist and workout examples for when you attained all of those expectations.

I personally wouldn't ask this question. You don't have doubts about your own ability so don't give them thought to any. It's working in Lidl, not for Microsoft. Supervision and Appraisal is for those issues of doubt and confidence and will enable you and your employer to put things in place to work on them and progress/develop. I'm a supervisor myself.

Expect it to be hard graft. They pay well, but expect a lot from their workers. As I'd expect any company tbf. I've also heard the interview process is intense.

Personally, I would get no job satisfaction from working in Lidl, but if you think you will enjoy it, which you obviously will or just to pay the bills, then go for it.

Dress smart. Don't underestimate this. Don't wear clothes that are too tight or don't fit, nice shoes etc.

Show curiosity and use some reverse psychology. Turn it on them and ask them what makes them love their job.

Be different.

And remember, they're interviewing you, but you're also interviewing them. It works both ways to see if the job will be compatible for you both.

Good luck
