I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Walmart in Apr 2011
Interview
You have to apply online and take an assessment. You need to tell them what they want to hear. An example question is "You are dealing with a very rude customer over the price of an item. You have been told by management that you can over-ride the price of the item to match the price on the shelf. What do you do?" You then get to pick 1 of 4 choices. Examples are 1. Yell back at the customer 2. apologize for the error and continue checking out the customer 3. Ignore the customer 4. Over-ride the price, smile, and apologize for the inconvenience. Notice answers 2 and 4 are similar but 4 is the right answer. If you pass the assessment you will get a phone call for an interview. Be prepared to take a drug test. Many times if you do well in the first interview they give you the 2nd one on the spot then hire you. You then go on to do a drug test and background check. Be honest on the background check because if they find one little thing they will dig through your entire background. The did this with me but since I was honest I got hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pretty basic questions, dress business casual, smile, be friendly and you're usually hired
Phone interview and then asked to come in for in person interview. The hiring manager asked typical interview questions. Why do you want to work here? And asked bout scheduling availability,
There was a lot of questions but overall it went pretty decent. They were your standard interview questions. I am happy with the outcome but maybe I could do better next time.
The interview was brief but straight forward. I interviewed with someone and was done within 15 minutes. They asked a few questions about myself and past job experience. Then I progressed to the next steps in the hiring process. The next steps where orientation.
