Interviewed Oct 2010 in Wetumpka, AL (took 2 days)
Once you've applied at their online application station in-store, you can expect a phone call within 2 weeks depending of course on if your application is approved. And the way to get your application approved is to say you are available to work any and all hours except overnight. (unless you want to work overnight) They rarely look at an application if the hours are too restricted in their opinion. Once you get the interview you usually speak with an Asst manager over the area they have you in mind for. Personnel will then send you to a lab for your drug test.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Do not let the Asst manager tell you that they do not have the authority to give you the pay you request, they do. If you feel you gave a good interview and you've convinced them that you are the one for the job but are not satisfied with the .50- .75 over min wage they are offering, tell them that you want to speak to whoever can approve it. You are willing to commit yourself to Walmart, BUT you have to pay the rent. They LOVE LOVE LOVE it when an employee says their life is Walmart.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Skills Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 1 week)
I applied online and got a phone call in about 3 days. Went in for one on one interview that consisted of about 5 questions. Mostly about handling different types of situations. After 3 more days, they called to arrange a panel interview with three dept. people. Consisted of 4 questions that were repetitious of the first interview. 5 days later I was asked to come in for a "job Offer". The job offer consisted of me signing a couple of forms. They did not tell me a job title, schedule or payscale until I asked her. She finally told me the pay rate. I was also told that I would not be eligible for a raise or any benefits til I had been there a year.
Each time I was there early and they ran consistently 15 - 30 min. late.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 1 week)
They use an interview format of what would you do? has there ever been a time when?, I hadn't had that type of interview in years. My advice to interviewees is use the restroom the second you get there, you have a L O N G wait ahead of you. They are very disorganized, it made me feel as though management didn't consider my time of any value. If you pass the first panel interview, you get a second interview, 1 on 1, with upper management and the wait is just as long. While waiting for the interviews, I sat in the back area in front of the employee only entrance doors and noticed that most employees weren't smiling. If I hadn't been desperate for a paycheck I would have walked out.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I wasn't able to negotiate anything. If you accept a position with them be prepared to keep job hunting, they only hire part-timers and there are no benefits. In addition to buying your own work clothes invest in a good pair of shoes to wear on the concrete floors.

I had a one on one interview. They asked about five questions and also asked about two employment gaps that I had. I then filled out background check information and was told to wait for a call for a second interview.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 days)
First step is to apply on-line (or at a kiosk with a computer at the store). You have to pass the test, otherwise you won't get hired. They are mostly customer service questions to see if you know how to treat customers right. Then you will get a face to face interview. It helps to go inside and ask for a manager if you really want an interview. then you will have a face to face interview with the supervisor of the department you'll be working in. The questions are standard "tell me about a time you did...." type questions. There is a drug test, and yes, they WILL check your references so make sure that the phone numbers are up to date and your people know that they might be called. Also, the more hours you are available the more likely you will get hired.
Negotiation Details
No negotiation to speak of. Starting pay is generally minimum wage but if you have previous job experience they might pay you a little bit more (but not much).
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 3 days)
Expect a lot of questions and they will want to go over past jobs, what you liked and disliked about them. some of your accomplishments and perhaps anything you regret from past positions. Something you could have done better. After the interview they give you the paper work to go to the lab for the drug test.Good luck

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Friendswood, TX (took 2 days)
I applied to Wal-Mart through their website, I got a call a month afterward. I was asked if I still wanted to work at Wal-Mart and if I was available next day for an interview. I was schedule for an interview next day, around 9am. I got there on time and they were running late, I had to wait there until 11am to go inside and get my interview done. I had to talk to three different managers, so I had three interviews in one day. After that I was told to go get my drug test done and come back next day. Next day I went back and got to talk to HR and I was given my ID badge.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate the working hours, I was a full-time student at the time, so I had to negotiate working 32 hours a week without interfiering with my studies. Pay was low though... but can't complain because I had my hours broken to fit my school schedule. Also I was able to get days off as needed due to my genetics laboratory experiment required at the time.
