I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (East Dundee, IL)
Interview
I submitted my application online via Walmart.com. It took about 3 weeks to get a call for an interview. But that was just because my position wasn't available until the end of the month. I had 3 interviews total. 1st being with the hiring manager about availability, and if not I was "Walmart" enough. Then I talked to the assistant manager (who was not there at the time she said to be there. Then I was put to blame for me getting the wrong time. When the manager left for a doctors appointment). Then I finally talked to the assistant manager, and was hired on the spot. The questions where very basic.
Questions (Some)
-Why do you want to work at Walmart?
-What motivates you?
-What would you do in this situation?
-Tell me about a difficult person you have to deal with.
After that I talked to the Store manager, could not negotiate the pay. Since I was working for the Electronics department I was getting the 3rd highest pay under Managers. ($8.86)
Background/Drug Test
I had to submit to a background check, and drug test. Walmart follows the lega amount. So if you smoke weed, or do any type of drugs stop! Spice, fake weed, bath salts, booze all shows up. They even test what OTC you use. Also if you live in an Area where medical marijuana is sold. You can't use you card/papers to make you drug use OK. They see that as personal use, and won't allow it. If you fail the drug Test you can't apply for 1 year.
I passed everything, and I was hired.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (Barceloneta, PR) in May 2010
Interview
I was told to go in for an interview. When I arrived, I wrote my name on a list and waited in a room with at least thirty other people. Our names where being called by different managers. My name was called by the Assistant Manager who interviewed me.
There were many desks, divided by cubicles. My interviewer sat behind a desk, and I sat directly in front of him. He asked me about my previous experiences in Retail, Customer Service, amongs others. He also asked me standard questions like: "Tell me about a time when you were asked to do something you didn't want to at a previous job." "Tell me about a time when you exceeded a customer's expectation" and such...
