I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Walmart in Sep 2014
Interview
They ask you a series of situational questions and ask what you would do. After the initial interview with a hourly supervisor, you then have an interview with a salaried manager. You basically are hired after that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about a time you had a disagreement with a coworker? How was it resolved?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Scarborough, ON) in May 2016
Interview
Very straight forward, its about a 3 step process.
1) call interview - they ask you simple questions trying to figure out who you are and if you are a candidate for the next step (why walmart, tell us about yourself, etc)
2) group interview - should your call interview become a success, you are then called in to be interviewed among 4-10 associates. They give you a mini summary about the company and what they do, then proceed to "speed dating" 4 managers going round and round asking you 1 question then moves on to the next maybe 2 if they deem it necessary. Finally a last conclusion from them to see who really is interested (they ask does anyone know the history of walmart or how many stores we have, etc ) - DO YOUR HOMEWORK RESEARCH THE COMPANY
3) they call you in for paper work if they chose to proceed with you as an associate

Question 1
if you are a cashier, there is a woman with a crying baby, an old person, and some impatient guy with a lot of stuff in his cart, who do you serve first?
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (Langley, BC) in Jan 2018
Interview
I submitted several online applications for associate positions. A few days later I received a call ( which I missed) asking me if I would like an interview. The manager who called said she had my resume and left me her name but I didn't get it through the voicemail.
Instead of replying by phone I went directly to their customer service and requested a 'personal' or manager. The customer service provider recommended I call before coming in but referred me to a manager anyways.
I waited for about ten minutes before a manager arrived.
He did not have access to my information so essentially I was applying for the first time.
- He asked some questions on how I would deal with difficult customer situations.
- My work experience, this was my first job so I did not have any work experience however if you describe your volunteer experience and quick gigs in detail it helps a lot. Volunteer experience of which I happen to have in leading camps and custodial jobs by connection. Describing your skills help too, such as mentioning any first aid training.
- He also directly asked about my work ethics. I explained that I am actually not a great student but I give it all when it comes to camp leading and work in which I feel others depend on me. Honesty is the best policy.
- He inquired which positions I would like and gave a few examples. They value the fact if you are feeling excited for the job or not.
- Hours of availability are very important to them especially if you are part time.
I assumed he liked me somewhat because he then went to find my information. Which took 20 minutes -_-
but afterwards, seeing that my applications and assessments were in check he offered me a position in the Deli which under his management in the Fresh section. Completely different from everything I applied for. I was genuinely excited for my first job but if you are not I think you better seem like you are because he asked me twice.
The whole process took a good hour. Pretty sure it won't be that intensive if you did your homework and booked an interview properly like a good citizen.
So, to recap,
1) do online applications and all assessments.
2a) If you get a call answer it, genius. Book your interview
2b) If you don't get a call barge in like a savage and demand for a manager politely. Not on a weekend there are less managers around and the place is more busy. You're probably gonna get an interview
3) Once you get into an interview, be polite, look a little scared but eager. Be honest but also point out your good qualities. Teamwork and leadership are ranked high. Mentally prepare some real life examples where you had to deal with tough situations and resolved them harmoniously.
4) aay the questions vary read above for what I had to answer.
5) Pretty sure your gonna get that job my friend, I totally winged it.
