How Aldi takes applications

How you apply	What it means	What to do with your CV
A store job (store assistant and other store roles)	You apply online. Aldi says it is a simple form, and you can upload your CV if you have one. Questions such as what hours you are looking for help Aldi see whether you suit the vacancies it has, and hiring managers screen your answers.	A CV is optional. Uploading one gives the hiring manager your jobs and dates at a glance. Answer the hours question carefully, because Aldi uses it to see whether you suit its vacancies.
The interview and the store experience	There may be a short video interview first, then a group or individual interview with an Area Manager, with questions and scenarios about the job. After a successful interview you may be invited to an ‘Aldi store experience’, to watch the tasks you would do.	Pick two or three examples from your CV before the interview: a busy shift, a time you helped a colleague and a time you handled cash or stock carefully.
A head office job	You complete an online application or upload a CV that shows your key skills, attitude and character; Aldi calls it your first chance to grab its attention. A video interview may follow.	Send a CV tailored to the role. Lead with what you achieved, not a list of duties.

How to write yours

Show you get on with it

Aldi describes a good store assistant as someone who opens another till when a queue builds and puts the stock out without waiting to be asked. One line each for tills, stock and cleaning shows you already work that way.

Put a number on your till work

Aldi asks you to be comfortable with numbers. A till that balances, a float you count or a cash-up you do alone says so more clearly than “good with money”.

Say how far you can travel

Aldi says its stores are local but that it helps if you can cover other nearby stores, where public transport may not be easy. If you drive, or can reach other stores, say so.

Give your hours

The form asks what hours you are looking for, and contracts run from 10 to 40 a week. Give the same range on your CV, so the form and the CV agree.

Questions about an Aldi CV

Do I need a CV to apply to Aldi?

Not for a store job. Aldi says applying is a simple online form, and you can upload your CV if you have one (Aldi, checked 18 October 2026). For a head office job, you complete the online application or upload a CV.

What qualifications do I need?

None in particular for a store assistant: Aldi says you need to be comfortable with numbers, and otherwise looks for a friendly personality, a ‘get-on-with-it’ attitude and a passion for the business (Aldi).

What happens at an Aldi interview?

A short video interview may come first, then a group or individual interview with an Area Manager, with questions and scenarios about the job. You may then be invited to an Aldi store experience to see the tasks you would do (Aldi).

Can I use AI to prepare?

Aldi welcomes AI tools to help you practise for the interview, but wants to hear your own voice, ideas and experience, not what AI suggests is the right answer. Our guide to using AI for your CV shows where it helps (Aldi).

What training will I get?

A structured programme that usually lasts about six weeks, with experienced colleagues, Aldi’s CheckPoints training and an e-learning portal, and your Store Manager and Assistant Store Manager closely involved. Where possible you train in your local area (Aldi).

How many people work in an Aldi store?

Usually between 25 and 60, depending on the store’s size. Aldi says its store teams are smaller than at other supermarkets and the job covers a wider range of tasks, which is why it looks for people who help out wherever they are needed (Aldi).

Keep it to one page. A store assistant CV with your last two jobs, a number for your till work and your hours covers what Aldi’s form and interview ask about.

CVs for other supermarket jobs

Aldi does not require a CV, but a complete example helps you fill in the form and get ready for the interview.
