I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Alcoa, TN) in Jan 2010
Interview
They ask many questions relating to your trustworthiness of superiors and if you have ever thought about stealing. Regardless of your past, common sense tells you the answers to these questions. Walmart is also a big believer in "scenario questions." They will ask you many questions starting with, "Tell me about a time when..." or "If you were faced with this issue, what would you do?" If you prepare considering the every day in-and-outs of a grocery job, you will be fine.
