The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Walmart in Jan 2011
Interview
First step is to apply on-line (or at a kiosk with a computer at the store). You have to pass the test, otherwise you won't get hired. They are mostly customer service questions to see if you know how to treat customers right. Then you will get a face to face interview. It helps to go inside and ask for a manager if you really want an interview. then you will have a face to face interview with the supervisor of the department you'll be working in. The questions are standard "tell me about a time you did...." type questions. There is a drug test, and yes, they WILL check your references so make sure that the phone numbers are up to date and your people know that they might be called. Also, the more hours you are available the more likely you will get hired.
applied online. phone call from manager who asks few questions on the phone then invites to irl interview then ask few more questions then phone call few days later to offer job.
Automated video interview, answer questions with a prompt. The questions are all basic questions that would typically be asked in a hiring recruiter screen. Didn’t seem very difficult and was very straight forward to complete.
It was pretty standard for the industry. I was asked about my prior experience, current goals, and opportunity for upward mobility at the specific store and at the broader organization.
