I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Post Falls, ID) in Nov 2010
Interview
I applied online. I was called back just over a week later on a Monday and scheduled the interview for later that same night. Went into the store and they took me back to the personnel office. I was interviewed by one of the assistant managers and she just asked me simple questions about my education and why I chose to apply for that position. Then she asked me 3 situation questions. Afterwards, she said my inexperience shouldn't be a problem and that I should expect to get a call in the following days to come in again. The following day (Tuesday), they called my references I provided. Then Wednesday, I received another call to come in that same day, so I did. While there, I was given the job offer and told I would be required to take a background check and drug test. So I signed a form about the background job then was told to take the drug test at a different site. So I did, and Thursday, I received the call saying I passed and that orientation would be the following Tuesday.

Question 1
Describe a time when someone came to you with a problem.
Very simple and straight to the point. Management asks basic get to know you questions but truly wants to know if you are reliable and dependable. They want to ensure you will show up to work.
