Aldi offers an Audi

Job-seeking graduates will get an extra incentive to join discount chain Aldi – a new Audi.

Despite figures revealing that overall graduate work placements have declined by more than 17%, Aldi is offering university leavers £40,000 a year, plus a new Audi A4.

The £40,000 wage packet significantly exceeds the £25,000 offered by upmarket rival Marks & Spencer.

While the economic downturn has hit graduate placements at many firms, cost-cutting shoppers are flocking to cut-price supermarket Aldi – leading to a 50% increase in graduate placements.
