I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Walmart (Salinas, CA) in Sept 2010
Interview
This specifically was a new store opening, so at the time of my interview, it wasn't done at the actual location of our store, it was held at a vacant space across the street. Interview 1 was done over the phone, interview 2 was with done with a general supervisor, and interview 3 was done with a manager. If you reached interview 3, you pretty much got the job already.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to make a difficult decision on a team project and the steps you took to get the problem solved.
Easy to accomplish and not very difficult. Seemed if you used common sense you’ll be okay. Just be yourself and go in there prepared. Good luck! I didn’t get an offer but I was fine with that.
Fairly easy. Multiple rounds. Just have positive attitude. They’ll do an initial round. And then you meet with 2 other supervisors on 2 different occasions. They just want to make sure you will be friendly to customers and be able to listen and follow directions
The interview was fine but you definitely get the big box store vibe. It was a bit rushed through, I could tell the manager was going through the motions but I also don’t necessarily expect anything more.
