I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (North Richland Hills, TX) in Sep 2010
Interview
I was called by a manager asking me to come in for an interview about a week after I applied. I was interviewed one-on-one with the electronics zone manager, then after him I was interviewed one-on-one by the assistant manager of the store, After this, I was offered the job. There was no negotiation on hourly wage, you take it or leave it. My initial impression of the store was a little dirty and unkempt. Granted, they were renovating at the time, and after renovations were complete the store looked much better.

Question 1
Give me an example of a time when you were in an uncomfortable situation with a customer and how did you resolve it?
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.
The interview was brief but straight forward. I interviewed with someone and was done within 15 minutes. They asked a few questions about myself and past job experience. Then I progressed to the next steps in the hiring process. The next steps where orientation.
