I was hoping you could tell me what kind of timetable I’d be looking at in hearing back from a divisional office. When I sent in my resume they said that they forwarded it onto a division close to where I live, but I didn’t know how long to expect to wait before I should try to contact them or re-apply. I’ve heard that it is a slow process, but I wasn’t sure how long to wait before actively pursuing other opportunities.

Hi Nick,
We don’t have any specific information about the process, other than what ALDI has provided here and through its website. I would try to follow up again with your closest local office AND continue to pursue other opportunities. You never know what’s waiting for you out there.
Best of luck with your search.

Hey Nick,
I am in a very similar situation I applied and am waiting to hear back from Aldi, just wondering if you did hear back from them yet or if you are still waiting for an answer.
Thanks

Hey Nick and Joe,
How long ago did you send in your resume? I’m just curious because I have also been eagerly awaiting a phone call.

Mary,
I sent my resume about 2 weeks ago and I still also and eagerly awaiting a phone call. How long ago did you send your resume?

Hi Everyone,
I also just sent in my resume (few days ago) and am wondering how long it usually takes them to contact you back. I have two other job offers but I want to wait and see if Aldi comes through so I can make the best choice out of the (hopefully) three positions.
