% buffered00:00 00:00 **Transcript**Hi there, my name is Anthony Colon, district manager with Aldi. I've been with the company for about two years full-time now, so two years district manager intern before that. So I think I have a good grasp on what sets a candidate apart from others when applying for this role. So a couple of things, so I would say multitasking is very important, and then, almost crucial to the role. You're gonna be juggling a lot of different things at once. a lot of different tasks, emails, different stores, different personnel issues, and being able to be organized through all that is crucial. So one of the ways you can kinda represent that, portray that on your resume would be having a number of leadership positions on a campus, whether that be if you're coming straight out of college, maybe that's being an athlete on top of maintaining a good GPA, volunteering in the community, juggling a part-time position on the side. Those are all things that put together, it really represents that ability to multitask, which is crucial to the role as a district manager.
