Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 1 week)

Applied for cashier job. Few days later was called for 1st interview which was done by an associate who basically asked a few pre determined questions, and had me fill out all the papers for background checks and stuff. Had second interview on the spot with a department manager (often have to come back for that one. Few days later was called to interview with the store manager who offered me overnight stocker position. DId that interview at 8:30 am and started the ALL day orientation at 9AM. Began working the next night.

Interview Questions

Honestly there weren't any difficult questions.

Negotiation Details

No negotiation. Manager asks about your background and experience and gives points for what you know. He then sets your salary based on that information. WalMart Canada always starts at more than minimum wage.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 days)

I asked the customer service if they were hiring and she said yes she thinks so she she telephoned a person and told me to go to the very end of the store where the employees' washrooms are. There was a desk and a lady was waiting for me she gave me a paper to fill out and then asked me why I want to work for walmart and what time I was available and if I can work early/late/weekends.

Then she went in to try to get me an interview and I got in and I was asked about my previouse work situations and had to give examples of how I dealt with customer services or problems etc. At the end she told me to come the following day for a second interview.

The second day I went and the manager interviewed me. He had similaur questions and was very nice and seemed like he liked my answers. He made me fill a criminal record consent form and told me that I will be hearing from them very soon.

It has been a week now since the second interview and I still have not received any calls from them. I have already cancelled another job that was offered to me because I thought I was accepted in this job. Many people said the fact I got a second interview ment 90% I got the job.

I still have hope in them calling me. My husband thinks they are probably going to call me around christmas time when they need part timers but then when am I supposed to be trained?

Today I went to the same walmart store and I asked a random person working there and told her about my situation and she told me to call account personel and ask what happened. But I'm not sure if i should do that?

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Williams Lake, BC (Canada) (took 2 weeks)

I have not gone through the whole process as of yet but so far:
I applied online on a Thursday night, got a phone call the next morning...Had a 15 minute phone interview, and was asked to do a 3 stage group interview 2 weeks after. it includes, role playing, discussion on benefits, and interview stages. As for if there is another step after that I do not know.

So far the interview was very friendly and it was very simple just be yourself.
