I Cant Breathe

I'm currently really disliking my job right now so been looking at options and been given a interview at Lidl.
Has anyone had a interview or worked with them to give me a few tips on the interview ?

In all seriousness though if you think you can progress well then I wish you well, Lidl, Aldi, etc. pay very decent managers salaries. Much better than stupid Bookies. I considered going for an Aldi management role when I was in retail management but honestly Supermarket work seems like a bit of a slog, and my job was (to be blunt) an absolute cakewalk in comparison. 90% of it was sitting on my phone drinking too much coffee. But yeah if you actually want to make a career in retail and think you've got the chops to climb, you could do worse, their store management grade salaries are good and their regional manager etc. salaries are even better.

It's Ł10.71 and if you work late nights it's an extra Ł2 which is a lot more then the Ł9.28 I'm on right now

Good luck, don't really know much about Lidl tbh, but the advice I can give you is when they ask you if you have any questions, ask them whether they have any doubts about your ability to do the job, and this is for 2 reasons. 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.

Full disclosure though: We hired some terrible staff during my management days. I mean some real shockers. |

I worked in recruitment for years, and still sort of do, so prepping noobs for interviews was the difference between nice commission and not

My friend worked there and quit because he was treated really badly, he was getting called to help on tills constantly so his aisle would be a mess and he got pulled up for 'going to help too much'. So he did as told and didn't help until called by name and he got pulled up for not helping on the tills.
His written warning he had to sign was a joke, I read it and it literally said along the lines of he had been verbally warned for leaving his assigned aisle to attend checkouts and his second warning was for not attending call outs until directed by a supervisor

I mean… it’s retail. Entry level retail is pretty much universally awful. If you think you can impress and get management training then it’s fine, if you’re only in it (like many younger people) for the short term then it’s also fine, but you definitely don’t want to get stuck on the bottom rung of retail for more than a couple of years. Honestly I’ve been quite vocal here plenty that I wasn’t happy in retail management either, it was not the work environment for me at all, BUT at least in management you have a voice and can stand up for yourself to an extent, entry level is so cucky and frustrating BLEH. I didn’t like it in my early 20’s - I flat out couldn’t do it now. I’d snap back and get fired . |
