WalMart Canada Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Applied online and got a call for an interview about a month later. Did a phone interview with maybe 10 situational questions. ex. When was a time where you went above and beyond? What would you do if...? When was a time when you had a difficult customer, how did you handle it?......

Got a call back a few days later to go in for a group interview.

went to the interview, there were about 8 managers from different departments there, and maybe 7 other people being interviewed. To start, all the managers introduced themselves and gave a background of how they got to where they are. Then they made the applicants pair up with eachother and gave us a question sheet and we had to ask them the questions there then introduce them to everyone else. Then they made us do this dumb cheer where you have to shout and stomp your feet and all this crap. They made us do it maybe 5 times through the entire interview. There was another cheer where you have to clap and they say "give me a W...A....L......" and we had to shout back as loud as we could.

Then they split us into groups, half of us got interviewed (had to sit next to each other and managers sat in front of us and asked one question each then rotated). The other half had to do a role playing scenario. They split us into pairs and gave us a product, one person is a customer and the other is an employee. The employee then had to answer questions about the product to try and sell it. Then the groups switched.

After that, they handed us cards to give to the managers one by one and they would talk about whatever was on the card. ex. benefits, vacation, stocks....

They then gave us a background check form, to fill out.
Then they made us do the second cheer again and let us leave.

In person questions were "what position did you apply to?" "why do you want to work here?" "why should we hire you?" "what would you do if a customer had a question you didnt know the answer to?"

Interview Details – Applied online and answer online assessment and got the call from the recruitment officer.

Interview Details – Probably my worst interview experience, ever.

I arrived to the interview at the scheduled time of 9am and went to customer service (as directed after my phone interview). Customer service told me to have a seat and the Manager would be out to meet me. After about 15mins the customer service worker passed by me and said "ohh, I completely forgot about you".. I'm thinking "Thanks.." but I wait to see what she does. After waiting for 30mins, I hear the customer service worker yell to another worker, asking where the Manager was and a different worker (ironically, the greeter) says the Manager left to go to another store. I'm thinking in my head, what on earth is going on and maybe they are watching me on camera to test my patience. The customer service worker tells me she will contact another manager, I thank her and continue to sit there patiently (but feeling pretty impatient). I consider leaving but think to myself I should just wait it out since I’m here.

After another 15mins (now 9:45am) I go to the customer service and talk to a different worker (must have switched shifts) and tell him that someone said they would call another manager but no one has arrived and the Manager that was originally supposed to do the interview with me is not around. The customer service worker tells me that the original Manager I named is not around (well, obviously...I just told him that) and that if they said another Manager will come, then I should just wait. I tell him I've been waiting 45minutes, so he takes down my name/position applied for and makes a call. I go sit back down. The customer service guy comes up and tells me the manager will be coming in a few minutes. For a company as LARGE as Walmart, i doubt there is only 2 managers but they didn't think it was necessary to send someone who is available. By this point I am getting pretty frustrated and thinking of leaving. I'm thinking the Managers probably think I am elderly or disabled and therefore they have the right to just leave me waiting and completely disregard me as a human being (I’ll digress). By this point I am fidgeting in my seat, looking at the clock and about ready to leave and a manager (the 2nd one) finally comes and greets me saying "you're here for the interview?!" and gives a kind of sly smile. Of course, no apology. She arrives smelling like cigarettes, so there was enough time to go on a smoke instead of conducting an interview.

As we go to the interview room she asks me how far I live, I tell her and then she says: "so you would be able to come at 7am on a sunday" I just reply "I'm pretty punctual and of course I would be here" (not even thinking in my head that they were 1hour late until after I said it). I wasn't trying to be rude but of course I would come on time for a shift. The manager tells me to go to the empty room and she would be there. I go to the room and the lights off so I have to fumble around looking for the switch.

Finally, we sit down for the interview and I am asked a multitude of questions, none of which are directly related to the position I applied for. I answered all questions relating to my previous work experience and then think of how i could have possibly answered these related to the position as greeter. I do my best and answer each question in detail. She asks me my availabilities and I tell her OPEN/CLOSE on weekends and 5-close weekdays and she interjects and says “you can’t start at 3:30p?” when I had originally told the first manager during my phone interview my availabilities. If I had known I had to be there for 3:30pm I would not have come for the 2nd interview. The interview lasted 10 minutes and the manager says I would get a call by the original Manager who was supposed to conduct the interview. Not sure if that is even appropriate since she couldn't even bother with the interview but would be telling me if I got the job?

I am just thinking in my head what would happen if I came to an interview 10mins late...

Interview Details – first round on campus then second round in HQ, both time you have two interviewers

Interview Details – I had an interview with Walmart a while back.
I knew from doing research they usually have group interviews, although I wasn't sure was to expect. First I got a phone interview with different open ended questions like 'Tell me about a time when you ___ and how you handled it' .. then she said I would have a group interview later that week.
When it came time for the group interview I wasn't expecting there to be as many people as there were .. (10 other applicants). First she copied all of our IDs for background checks.
Then we were brought to another room. We had different activities to do. The first was to ask the person beside you questions and introduce them to everyone else. Next we had to get in pairs or groups and act out a scene and try selling an item. Then we had to answer questions on a scenario we got. Lastly we had a 'speed dating' set up where there was 4 managers and they would rotate and ask you 2 questions individually and you'd have 30 seconds to answer. All in all, it was quite a different interview process.
