Went in to a local Aldi's, requiring about any job hiring opportunities. The store manager let me know about a hiring event that was happening about week from then. Took a job application and found a basic one page resume outline, on the internet. I drove to another Aldi's where the event was happening, which was still relatively close from where I lived. Handed in my application, resume, and a 3x5 card with a couple of reference names. The person at the store was the district manager, who let me know that they would review each application, and call qualifying applicants in for an interview. Other than that, I was just asked basic screening questions about my availability and why I chose Aldi's. Later that day, the district manager called me to set up an interview time for the next day. This interview was mostly questions about recent job experience, which for me was working at a movie theater, and also included a two year mission for my Church (LDS) After that, I was called for a 2nd interview with the district manager a couple days later. This one was confirming that my approach to problems and solutions, would transition well with them. The following day I got called in for the third interview, this time with the store manager. She asked me why I chose Aldi's, and then led me around the store. I was notified two later via phone call from the district manager, and was offered a job. From hiring event to the job offer, it took just 4 days. I've read that's not the norm, but the store in particular has been doing great with sales, so they were able to add on more store associates.
