After filling out an online application I was contacted by the personnel manager of the store and invited for an interview. In store associates have two interviews - one with a supervisor and then one with an assistant manager (though not necessarily the people over the area you were interviewing for.) I was actually called in for a different position but they decided during the interview to offer me a cashier position. They ask the general questions you hear in every interview (tell me about a time when you overcame a challenge, etc.) and they really like it when you connect to a specific job or part of your education. If you get called in for an interview and don't screw it up (i.e. not dressing appropriately, giving poor answers, etc.) you essentially have the job if you pass your background and drug test.

Question 1
Tell us about a time when you had to deal with an unpleasant person and how you resolved the issue.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Walmart (Jonesboro, AR) in Apr 2012
Interview
You will have two interviews with two managers. I did both of my interviews on the same day. Very easy questions if you practice before hand. They let me know before I left the interview that I would be getting the job.

Some included "How would you handle a conflict with another employee" and "Name a time when you gave excellent customer service".
