I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Walmart in Sep 2011
Interview
I had two separate interviews, the same day. The second interview only given if the first interview was acceptable. The second interview was approximately two hours later, so I walked around the sales floor waiting to be called. Was called back in for the second interview, this time I had to answer questions given by two people, both managers of the store. Basically was asked how I would or did handle situations based on questions presented. The second interview took approximately an hour and half then was told to have a seat in the waiting room, while my references were called. was then given paperwork to go a have a drug screening performed, which has to done within 24 hours. I was called back about 2 days later and offered a job in the Electronics Dept. was then given a time to come back to the store for a formal offer, and Orientation process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions asked were all based on how you handled a situation based on your passed job or life experience; based on the situation, how it was handled, resources used, how used, final outcome. (cause/complaint/correction)
Phone interview and then asked to come in for in person interview. The hiring manager asked typical interview questions. Why do you want to work here? And asked bout scheduling availability,
There was a lot of questions but overall it went pretty decent. They were your standard interview questions. I am happy with the outcome but maybe I could do better next time.
The interview was brief but straight forward. I interviewed with someone and was done within 15 minutes. They asked a few questions about myself and past job experience. Then I progressed to the next steps in the hiring process. The next steps where orientation.
