Interview
I applied online through Walmart.com and received a call from the Personnel Coordinator a few weeks later about the position.
I was interviewed by a personnel supervisor. She was very friendly and outgoing, but it wasn't hard to tell that she was actively analyzing my responses and body language. It started with some polite chit-chat as she prepared the paperwork. Then she had me fill-out a few forms with my mailing address and some other details. Next, I was grilled on a few questions regarding my practical experience is problem solving, information gathering, and teambuilding. It's important to keep your answers fairly concise, going into detail a little, but not rambling. Rambling indicates you're just making up a response as you go.
After the initial interview, I was setup with a panel of an ASM, ZMS, and DM. They generally just asked me if I felt like I could do a decent job in the position. The ZMS noticed a few of the awards I listed on my resume.
I was then taken-back to the Personnel Office and given a job offer. I was told my compensation, and left to immediately take my drug test at a nearby facility.

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.
