Aldi Assessment - What To Wear
Discussion
LittleBlueCar said:
I've got an Aldi group assessment coming up soon for a HGV role and I'm not sure what I should be wearing. As far as I'm aware there's no interview, as that will follow should I be successful at the assessment. Any further tips would also be appreciated.
Ask whoever arranged the assessment

My first thought was a coffee stained vest and jeans that only cover half of your arse when you bend over, but I went with serious!
Sorry, no help to the OP though.
Smart jeans and one of those T shirts with a collar? My guess is that they won't care as long as you don't look like a tramp

Just turn up clean, sober and enthusiastic. I'd be wearing jeans, polo neck shirt and trainers. Steel toes, high viz and gloves in the boot of my car. You're probably just going for an initial check, have all of your licences ect with you and don't take any ibroprofen or anything the day before as they might get you to piss in a cup. If they want you to do any manual tests they'll give you any safety stuff but definitely have a pair of toe caps in your car.
It's probably going to be a group day with a couple of their driver trainers just ticking boxes and making sure you're who you say you are and have all of the paperwork. Never done lidl but Co op, tescos and Morrisons are like that.

Are lidl the ones who make you unload your own truck, put it all in a line and then come round and moan that it's not straight enough? Hate those b

Yep, some want gaps between the pallets, others don't. Cut straps off at some depots, mustn't be over 9 trays high at one RDC, 10 another. ds. Not sure if they are franchised owned but we deliver to several and they all operate differently (and Cardiff are the most miserable of the lot!).
Thanks for all the help everyone, I didn't know if wearing a suit would be a bit overkill.
I'm not sure if the job is something that will suit me yet, I'm just going through the application process with an open mind. My current job is a piece of piss tbh but I'm starting to get bored with it.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't be wearing a suit, to be honest I wouldn't really be wearing anything that I cared too much about as there's a chance they'll have you drop swapping a trailer and those sorts of firms everything's covered in grease.
The last big supermarket type thing that I went through an interview process for was Co op about 7 years ago, and covid may have changed it a bit too. 15 of us in a room around a table, 3 driver trainers and everyone does the who are you what experience do you have nonsense, basically just checking that you can speak English and have half a clue. Then paperwork check and piss in a cup. Then outside all together to pick a trailer up, move it to a different spot and drop it.
In this climate, if you've got a licence pass the drug test and can follow instructions you've got the job. They're the ones who have to convince you to work there not the other way around

Going for a lorry driving job, go as a smart looking lorry driver, clean good work clothes, and put a bit of polish on your work boots, just because so many look like unwashed tramps doesn't mean it's a good trend to follow.
Have a list of all the questions you need to ask them ready to hand, and remember top line wage figures picked from some pointy shoes ring piece as typical mean the square root of bugger all, its what's in writing that counts.
