I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Statesboro, GA) in Dec 2013
Interview
I had this very old man who actually nodded off during the interview! He told me they usually use temp services instead of hiring "for the company". When they do, they usually work you for 3-4 months. They then lay you off, so that they don't have to offer you benefits! The place was a joke. I later spoke to someone who use to work there in HR. He said it is an awful place to work. They care less about the employees. They have big turnover. I was there TWICE, 3 months each time
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Walmart (Williamsburg, VA) in Jan 2014
Interview
I applied the middle of month 1 online. ive applied before and never heard anything so i wasnt expecting a call back. I applied for everything I saw there. unloader/processor, loader and order filler.
by the very end of month 2 i got a message on my voicemail for an interview!!! I couldnt believe it! Im a female and so I know how hard it is to get into jobs like this and be a girl. But they called me for the interview, i hadnt even had any related experience, licenses or certifications.
maybe 2 days later. i had my interview. - very easy. it was mostly a conversation. no pressure at all.
A couple days after that, the beginning of month 3, I was called and told to come in for my job offer!
i came in for the job offer the next day.
during the job offer she told me how much i would be paid. came out to be $16.45 an hour. 4th shift which is sat, sun, mon 6 am-6pm. the perfect shift. you get your whole week off, and weekend nights too if you want to still go out with friends.
at the end of that meeting, i signed papers and she told me to leave right away and to go do my drug screen and then soon as i get home from that , to go ahead and check my email for the background check she sent, and to fill it out right away.
she told me i had the job, just as long as my background check and drug screen came back good.
I thought , great. Ive never even been arrested. But then i read the background check and it looks like it says its going to do a credit check, driving record check and the background check. well my credit sucks and ive had a ticket or too in the past so i was a little less optimistic now.
but i called and called after putting the background check in to figure out if my credit would disqualify me and thats when they told me that the background check is done by a credit agency but they dont actually check your credit at all.
10 days into month 3 i was called and told the background check came back and i had the job.
i started orientation 5 days later.
so the whole process took about 2 months, from applying online to starting
