The Aldi website makes clear its mission and values. Be familiar with their pillars (quality, affordability, sustainability), and communicate your strengths in these areas. Be sure to review the job description closely and take this opportunity to point out where you meet the minimum and preferred qualifications for the position. A mix of your personality and insight into your background and experience is ideal.
Interviewers want to hear about that one unique skill that sets you apart from the other candidates applying for this job. Think of your answer as your 'elevator pitch' or your qualifying statement. If you can't think of ways that you are unique, ask a few friends or family members what they feel sets you apart from other people. Their observations may help you understand how you are perceived.
Perhaps you already know what sets you apart! This skill could include any industry accolades, exceptional achievements, additional industry related training, a second language, or how involved you are in the community. Don't be afraid to brag about yourself a bit. In an interview, you are your most influential advocate.

I always try to be passionate about what I'm doing. I take great pride in setting a goal and achieving it. I am a loyal employee who wants to see the company I work for presented in the best possible way. I am also a consumer (and a big fan of Aldi) who can bring that perspective to the job.
