For the interviewing stages try your best to come across as confident as possible I know this is nerve racking but you need to stand out. If you get an apprenticeship with aldi it will be difficult in the first couple of weeks to adjust especially if you haven't worked before but stick at it everyone goes through it and it is well worth them couple of difficult weeks
