I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Winterville, NC) in Mar 2016
Interview
Was chosen by store manager to join the Walmart academy training for an ASM position and applied for a vacancy in another store. Passed the management aptitude test and was interviewed by a panel of store managers including the store I allied to along with the market manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The market manager conducted the whole interview by starting with relatively easy questions from what is your favorite color progressed to other questions like describe a situation where during the course of performing your job you went above and beyond?
It was more than an hour. Three people conducted my interview in person and most of the questions were based on situations with customers, workload, priorities, and employee conflict. All the answers have to be genuine because one question leads to another.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Walmart
Interview
It was an interview with my current store manager. I then interviewed before a panel made up of several members of the Market Level Management team. I was included in a pool of perspective ASM's.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (Fredonia, NY) in Dec 2017
Interview
Several questions with scenarios. A lot of questions about previous work experience and how it would/could pertain in retail business' daily demands. How would I handle multiple scenarios with upset customers or take care of upset associates. I believe it is based on the store managers relationship with applying persons.
