I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (Palatine, IL) in Oct 2011
Interview
It was pretty basic. It was a 2 step interview followed by a drug test. I met with a hiring manager who asked mostly questions about myself and my resume. They seemed very robotic with the template with not much room for personality. The second interview that followed after was with the Electronics department manager and they were a lot friendlier. They asked questions like "which is better, PS3 or Xbox360? Explain why." This gave more room for a discussion compared to the first manager. After about 30 minutes, the interview was over and he hired me on the spot. I had to take a drug test that same day.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart in Aug 2025
Interview
Super easy and casual. Asked my availability and previous work experience and then just explained the job to me. Took about ten minutes, just be available and agreeable and you’ll get it.
Sat there was asked questions interviewer wasn't really interested in what I had to say and wrote out what they wanted to hear and offered the position on the spot
Easy, it was like one question that was related to my customer service experience and knowledge. Basically, it was confirming that you are a functioning human capable of helping customers.
