  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • It depends on the time of your shift as to what you'd be doing. Mornings and late evenings your will be ticking off and putting out the delivery. Throughout the day you could be doing numerous tasks like: till, working back-stock, carding etc.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have become more confident as a person from working at Aldi and learnt a lot of new skills e.g. working a till and interacting with customers. Id usually shy away from tasks I didn't know how to do but, you cant do that here as they through you in at the deep end and, this process has made me a more well rounded individual.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • The programme is enjoyable because the course tests your knowledge and makes sure your know everything you should know as a store assistant. Its got a nice balance between practical and theoretical assessments which are both quite quick to complete.
