Interviewed Apr 2011 in Phoenix, AZ (took a day)
The hireing process is conducted in a normal faxhion where there is a one on one interview with multiple members of the store. The individuals conducting the interviews seem to be only going through the motions. As an anticipated prospective employee works hie way through the three interviews, the interviewersw seem to have a difficult tine finding a private area to conduct the seemingly quick process

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
Fill out questionnaire, interview with one of 12 managers - no privacy - 20 + job seekers in room at same time. Dress appropriately, be clean.
Best quality: always on time or likes to interact with customers
Worse quality: like to interact with customers which can be distracting but I always work hard to make sure I do not get behind in my job
Advice: Smile, be polite and interested in Company.
You will have to answer many questions and one that most people seem to get wrong: Which of the two is worse: alcohol or marijuana - answer: marijuana because it is illegal
Most questions are common sense so take your time and answer truthfully because they will check. If you do drugs other than those that are prescribed by a physician, don't even bother to apply at Wal-Mart because they did a drug test after our interview. If you take prescribed medicine, let your interviewer know and the reason you take them. You may have to assure them that it does not interfere with your job performance or that you will not take them while working.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Edmond, OK (took 1 week)
The last interview I had was moving from a Customer Service Manager to a Pharmacy Technician. I had previously talked to the pharmacy manager and expressed interest in his tech opening. We then had a 1 on 1 interview process where he asked me many questions of what I would do in certain situations based of previous experience. After I passed that part, I had to take a more extensive drug test than I did to get into Walmart. Another backgroug check was taken as well.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 6+ weeks)
I applied, I got a call back a week later, set up an interview date and time. I got there, no one knew i was supposed to be there, finally got a hold of who was supposed to be interviewing me. Go through first interview and pass. Interview consisted of going over pre-filled forms, doing one on one "tell me a time when you had to do such and such and tell me how you achieved your goal" etc. lasted about 30 minutes. a couple days later i got a call to another interview. Went in, once again I had to hunt down the guy who was supposed to interview me. Not even two or three minutes in, very abruptly he ends the interview and says he will be in contact with me.
a month goes by, during which I am calling the store three or four times a week. Finally went up there and demanded to know what happened (was expecting interview 3) lady says the computer has no record of me ever having the interview #2!! the guy who interviewed me pretty much blew me off and didn't put anything in the computer!

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Raleigh, NC (took 3 days)
In my case it was an internal interview (I already worked for the company), however the questions are the same for internal/external interviewees. There are about 5 questions ranging over 5 competencies (1 Question per area). The questions are designed to show thought in your decision making as well as clear leadership. The panel interview will be either 2 or 3 managers, usually store managers sometimes shift managers. There really isn't anything too complicated about the process, and usually if they've called you for an interview, the actual interview is just a formality-provided you don't absolutely tank it. It's mainly about getting the call asking if you wish to interview.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Concord, NH (took 2 weeks)
I initially had to have a phone interview with the Asset Protection Coordinator, then I had to meet him for a face to face interview, then I had to have a second interview with him and another member of management, and then I had to have an orientation meeting with Human Resources. After that I had to go through three months of training and then was finally able to start.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in O Fallon, IL (took a day)
This was an informational interview that gave a great insight into the process used by Walmart HR to hire people into the managerial training program. The HR manager with whom I conversed was very friendly and informative. My overall impression is that this is a company that would be a good fit for someone who enjoys a structured corporate culture, would like an introduction into retail, and is flexible on location.
