I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Perris, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
At the interview I was asked very typical questions. (Describe a time when you had to show leadership, ect.) She asked me about five of those questions and asked me to wait so she could tell the assistant manager. He came and gave me a second interview asking pretty much the same questions and i was told I would hear back in 3-5 days if they decided on me. I got a call three days later to come in with my ID and when I got there they sent me to do a drug test. About a week later they called to set up an orientation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you tried out a new idea, and it failed. What did you do to make the result better?
Phone interview and then asked to come in for in person interview. The hiring manager asked typical interview questions. Why do you want to work here? And asked bout scheduling availability,
There was a lot of questions but overall it went pretty decent. They were your standard interview questions. I am happy with the outcome but maybe I could do better next time.
Solid and very well informative process. It was straightforward and well put together. I really enjoyed the people that I interacted with and ultimately chose another route due to time constraints.
