I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Walmart (Waukesha, WI) in Jul 2010
Interview
Received phone call from Walpmart, setup interview next day (Sunday) for part time job. Was asked about 20 questions, a lot on working with a team, how to handle an angry customer, have you taken short cuts on a job, describe when you wern't able to complete a job or assignment.
Got called back on Monday, came in for 2nd interview with HR person, was told position and salary, but when asked when hours or shift or days to work I was told that information would be given to me at orientation. Given forms for drug test. Did drug test, was called back Thursday to come in for orientation.
Declined job because I was offered different job with no nights and occasional week end days.
People friendly, interview room was a computer server room with three desks. People came in and during the interviews. With the number of people Wal-Mart hires, I would think they would have a better interview location.

Interview
I applied online. I was orginally schedualed an interview but then it was canceled and reschedualed for a later date. Usually I am extreamly nervous during interviews but the person who interviewed me was very friendly and put me at ease. He is the type of guy who, once all the formalities were over, could probably be joked around with at work. He was a hourly manager.
All of the questions I had were situational based. First he'd read a short paragraph that gave you an indication of what type of answer they were looking for. Then the question would follow.... "Give me an example when...." Some of the questions I remember were "Give me an example of a project you were given to complete. What steps did you take to complete the task." "Give me an example of when a coworker disagreed with you on how something should be done. How did you get him to see your point of view without hurting your feelings?"
I personally hate these types of questions. You could technically make up an answer and they would never know the difference. But if your like me, and try to be truthful, you could rack your brain to try to find a good example where you shine through. It is better to think of examples to possible questions before hand.
