I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Oxford, PA) in Jul 2012
Interview
Did a phone interview, online assessment, then in-person interview with GM then DM. All were pretty easy in my opinion, but they were opening a new store and really needed people. The interview questions were pretty standard, so it was nothing unexpected or unusually difficult. Overall, the excitement level of the GM and DM had the biggest impact and made me want the job more.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All pretty standard questions.. nothing ridiculous or unexpected. EX: Explain a time where you had to deal with an upset customer... what did you do? What steps did you take? Were you able to alleviate the situation? Etc., etc., etc.
Standard and reasonable questions in my opinion.
I applied online. I interviewed at Walmart (Toronto, ON)
Interview
large tabled interview with 15 staff, round table interview approach where each speaker had the chance to answer one by one. pretty unformal approach creating a relaxed atmosphere where I was comfortable to speak.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Walmart (Laval, QC)
Interview
Very simple but can be nerve racking because at times it’s done in groups. But other than that you just need to sound confident. it doesn’t really matter if you answer the same as the other person you’re interviewing with as I said,
just sound confident
Group interview and speed questions where it is similar to speed dating. You are given scenarios and you have to communicate how you would solve the issue. Overall it was a relatively easy interview if you have customer service experience.
