I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Houston, TX) in Jan 2012
Interview
I went in for my first interview with personnel. They asked me basic questions - why do you want to work at Walmart, how much are you looking to make, what is your availability? After that, they passed me on to the zone manager over the cashiers who went into more detailed questions regarding customer service. All of the questions were easy, there were about 5 or 6 of them. After this interview, I waited for almost 45 minutes to meet with an assistant manager who basically asked me the same exact questions as the second manager. I went home, got a call back about 3 days later telling me to come in to accept my job offer. I signed some paperwork and had to take a drug test within 24 hours. It took about a week and a half for them to call after my drug test and I started orientation a week or so later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you went above and beyond for a customer.
Easy to accomplish and not very difficult. Seemed if you used common sense you’ll be okay. Just be yourself and go in there prepared. Good luck! I didn’t get an offer but I was fine with that.
Fairly easy. Multiple rounds. Just have positive attitude. They’ll do an initial round. And then you meet with 2 other supervisors on 2 different occasions. They just want to make sure you will be friendly to customers and be able to listen and follow directions
The interview was fine but you definitely get the big box store vibe. It was a bit rushed through, I could tell the manager was going through the motions but I also don’t necessarily expect anything more.
