Question 7 of 39

Why do you want to work for ALDI?

"I worked for Acme Fresh Market for a few years, but I didn't quite feel like the culture there was in line with my personality. I am very bubbly and happy-go-lucky, and the work culture at my store was more so a keep-your-head-down and get the job done vibe. So, I wanted to work somewhere I could have more fun interacting with the customers, and ALDI stores definitely have that atmosphere. I love the simplicity of how the shelves are stocked, and the simpler model of how these stores operate. In fact, ALDI and Trader Joe's are my two favorite stores to shop at, and they're owned by the same family. So, I figured, why not try to work where I like to shop, where I am a loyal customer who can support a great brand?"

      How to Answer

      It is important to be forthright and honest with your answers, and everyone may have their own unique reasons for preferring one employer over another. But consider how you might help your interviewer as well when answering this question. Part of the recruiter's job is to determine which of their talent acquisition efforts had the most impact. So examine all the employment offerings they advertise online, and which of those appeal to you most, and list those among your reasons for deciding to pursue this opportunity.

      What to Avoid

      Avoid offering reasons that have little to do with them, their culture, or the opportunities this presents. Such as wanting to work at a location that is close to home, getting a discount on groceries, or starting off at a more desirable pay rate. This will suggest you are just trying to find any job anywhere, and might up and quit the second a better opportunity comes along.
