I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Walmart (Olathe, KS) in Jun 2009
Interview
Although I waited 20 minutes (where I was advised someone would be there to get me at my appointed time) before someone asked if they could help me, and the woman from personnel assisted me, the interview process went well. The first person asked all the basic scripted questions, then asked a manager to come back for an immediate second interview. The manager asked fewer of the scripted questions, went over the pay rate and what the position would be. She then gave the form for the drug test and advised they had to wait for the drug test and background check to come back. I was offered the position 2 business days later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you promised a customer something that you weren't going to be able to deliver and how did you overcome it?
Easy to accomplish and not very difficult. Seemed if you used common sense you’ll be okay. Just be yourself and go in there prepared. Good luck! I didn’t get an offer but I was fine with that.
Fairly easy. Multiple rounds. Just have positive attitude. They’ll do an initial round. And then you meet with 2 other supervisors on 2 different occasions. They just want to make sure you will be friendly to customers and be able to listen and follow directions
The interview was fine but you definitely get the big box store vibe. It was a bit rushed through, I could tell the manager was going through the motions but I also don’t necessarily expect anything more.
