I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Walmart (San Jacinto, CA) in Aug 2010
Interview
I applied online for the job, 3 months later I got a call from my references saying that they were contacted by walmart, and shortly after getting off the phone walmart called me to set up an interview.
The interview process is very easy. You typically have 2-3 interviews in quick succession. You meet with a supervisor and answer a few basic personality questions. You then meet with a assistant manager and continue with basic behavioral questions. Then you move on to a co-manager or store manager for final approval.
The interview process was a very amateur operation. The supervisor that interviewed me hardly cared about the answers, she just marked everything off as passing. The assistant manager that interviewed me had a hard time reading the questions. Yes, you read that right, the MANAGER could barely read English. Lastly the co manager interview was literally 5 mins, he barely said anything for he seemed to have better things to do.
All in all.... nothing to worry about.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was a time you let someone down and how did you fix it?
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Port Saint Lucie, FL) in Jul 2012
Interview
Did the application in-store; took about 45 minutes. I got a call a few days later to schedule an interview for a few days later. Once I got there I waited a bit in the site to store pickup before being called back. 3 managers interview you at one time while asking you standard interview questions: Difficult situations you've been in and how you handled it etc. After that they said they'd call me in a few days once they've interviewed the other applicants.
After about 2.5 weeks I finally got a call for a second interview. They asked me to bring 2 forms of ID. I got there and waited an hour because they forgot about me. Once back there I basically went through the same process again. They then asked for my Identification, asked me if I wanted the job, showed me my salary, and sent me for a drug test.
I had to come in for orientation a couple of days later on Thursday (their pay day) which began my first day there. You train by reviewing videos and then doing assessments on the PC. Once you feel confident they'll send you out on the floor to work with a "veteran" cashier. After learning you can request your login number and id which will grant you access to your own register.
