I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (Maryland, NY) in Jun 2011
Interview
I applied online and got a call. This was my first "starter" job so I was excited even to work at walmart.
The interview is a behavioral interview, they do a few questions with who will be your department manager and they rank you on like a 1 to 5 (maybe 1 to 10) system based on each question.
After this you will do a group interview with some of the managers which is more or less just trying to get to know you. If you pass both the interview next is the drug test and you are hired. All of these interviews were done in the same day. I had to wait until I was 18 to start, so I didn't get the formal job offer until my birthday. Enjoy your new job at walmart! They pay more than most starting retail places despite the complaining of the employees. Most places start at 7.25 in my state and I started a dollar above that and it was jacked up another 25 cents after a few months.

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.
