I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lidl (London, England) in Jun 2014
Interview
Had initially applied for a different role available within their company but was deemed suitable for this role and was contacted by a member of their HR team inquiring whether I would be interested. After initial contact and a few phone calls, I was invited down to their head office in Wimbledon. The entire interview lasted just less than two hours, consisting of two initial translating/proofreading tasks (30 minutes to complete) before being interviewed by two senior members. They both made me at ease and the interview turned into more of a conversation with questions being asked from both sides throughout.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was a little taken aback when the interview suddenly switched from English into German but I should really had expected this since the role did require good German skills (this was bad preparation on my behalf). Overall, just prepare well knowing the exact responsibilities involved in the role and show how you have the skills needed to succeed (obviously backed up with real life examples!)
