Interviewed Dec 2009 in Calais, ME (took a day)
As an internal interview, the interview process is pretty simple; it is more of a technicality then an actual process. I had indicated I was interested in the position. The store manager called me while I was at work one day and we proceeded with the interview over the phone. A week later I was formally offered the position.
Negotiation Details
Cannot negotiate.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Somerset, NJ (took 2 days)
The interview process was rather quick from the time I put in my application. Once they selected me from the canidate pool, an interview was scheduled for two days later. The interview questions pertained mostly to cometencies but there were a few questions about integrity. Overall it was an eyeopening experiance into the minds at Wal-Mart.

Interviewed Nov 2008 (took 4 weeks)
I have worked at Walmart for a number of years so they knew who I was. I would say that my self awareness helped me because I knew what I could bring to the table for them as a company and how my guidance of others would better the company. When answering questions they want to know how you would handle yourself in certain situations. If you have not been in that particular situation then be advised that they want you to tell them how you would handle it. They are interested in how fast you can think on your feet.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Detroit, MI (took a day)
When I went in for the interview, I didn't know what to expect. It was a panel interview with six of the highest ranking managers. They asked questions about integrity, difficult situations I've come across and my management style. They were very intimidating. They wanted to hear about delegation and teaching and training. If you are prepared for the interview, unlike I was, it shouldn't be too bad.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Raleigh, NC (took 2 weeks)
I was asked what my worst customer experience was and how I handled it. If someone called in sick, and I had noone to cover the area, what would I do? They want you to delegate. Don't say you'd work the dept. yourself. Pull someone from another area.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The co-manager seemed like an insecure person or was threatened by me. Dangerous situation and counterproductive. If I had taken the job I would either have to put him in his place, or be a submissive yes man. Lose-lose situation.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.
