I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart in Nov 2009
Interview
The interview went well. I though the questions did a good job of surmising what I know about working with others. The questions were short situations that had you decide how you should respond in a certain situation. I did have a tough time getting an interview in the first place. I applied a few times and only was asked to interview as a temporary employee during the holidays. Fortunately, I was offered a part time position at the end of the holidays.
I completed my application and received a call back about 2 months after. I went for my interview, which was pretty easy and relaxed to me. I was interviewed by a department manager and then an assistant manager. I was asked only a few questions and both managers were engaging and friendly. I was then offered the job, which I accepted. I then went for my drug test and started working a few days later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult question for me was one that asked me to give an example of how I had gone out of my way to help a customer. This was difficult for me only because I had not had a job in retail before so I was unsure how to answer. The assistant manager told me to relax and accepted an answer that had absolutely nothing to do with retail.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Walmart (Manchester, NH) in Sep 2013
Interview
The interviewer did not show up. So a department manager did the interview. The typical job interview strongly focused on loss prevention and not do much on qualification or experience. Three set process not very professional or organized. Profile evaluation test. Very little talk of customer service more focus on get them in move them out.
