I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Walmart
Interview
I applied online to a store that was not yet opened and received a phone call from them later that day and scheduled an interview for the day after. The interview was at a local college campus since the store wasn't completely built yet. I got there a few minutes early and didn't have to wait long for the interview to begin. The first interviewer asked me what position I wanted and about 5 or 6 other questions.
They were:
"Describe a time you stopped a minor problem from turning into a major problem."
"Describe a time when you and a co-worker had a conflict and what did you do to resolve it"
"Describe a time you helped a customer"
"Describe a time you were put in charge of a project and how did it turn out" and 1 or 2 others I can't remember.
After that I had do a second interview with a different person. He asked about 5 - 6 questions as well and they were pretty similar to the first interview just worded a bit different. I used a lot of the same answers I used in the first interview but there were a few different ones like:
"Describe a time when you were unable to complete a project on time. Why were you unable to complete it and what did you learn?"
"Describe a time you went over the top for a customer."
After the second interview they told me I had another one to do but the store manager was busy so I had to schedule it for the next day. I got there a few minutes early again but this time I had to wait about 30 minutes for the store manager to arrive. The final interview was only one question which was "Tell me about yourself." I just told him about my previous job history and how the experience would help me if I was hired at Walmart and not anything personal about myself. He then hired me and I had to take a drug test the same day. They called both of my personal references but they were unable to get in touch with one of them so I had to give them another person to contact.

Question 1
"Describe a time you stopped a minor problem from turning into a major problem."
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Walmart (Murfreesboro, TN) in Aug 2016
Interview
Received a very prompt phone call from them day after applying.
Prompt response after leaving a message with them. I was able to get an interview the following day after our second correspondence; that has rarely happened to me. No less than a couple of days later was I offered a position on the team.
I applied online. I interviewed at Walmart in May 2016
Interview
Interview was ok. There were other managers in the room so it didn't feel super formal and was a little awkward. Manager did get on her phone at one point and was a little unorganized which set a bad first impression.

Question 1
When was a time you had to handle conflict in a group?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart in May 2016
Interview
I applied and about a week or so later, I was called in for an interview. I had my interview the next day. It was fairly simple. I was waiting, and a lot of people stopped to ask me what I was interviewing for, and were surprised that I was a girl about to be hired for maintenance. I was told I'd probably start out as maintenance, but then they'd move me to a different department. Maintenance is like a stepping stone I guess. When the hiring manager spoke to me, he basically just had me sign a lot of contracts and make sure everything was correct with my application. Then he asked me one question which he said was the standard required question at Wal Mart. I think he gave me a "B" on my answer. After that, he sent me to a facility for a drug test, which I would have legally 24 hours to go take. He told me they'd call me and talk to me in about a week about my schedule and everything, so I'm waiting for Friday.
