I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (New Hartford, NY) in Mar 2010
Interview
I was called and spoke to them and was told to come in for an interview. I go to the customer service desk, and they had no idea why I was there, and i was sent to another section of the store. After waiting for 20 mins, someone finally came and said hello. I was escorted to the back into a break room, where I was put in front of 3 managers. I went threw the basics of filling out paperwork and asking basic questions. Then it got to the strange part. I was grilled on random questions that had absolutely nothing to do with what was going on. They kept switching between two managers who was asking the questions, one of them clearly was told to make Eye contact with the applicant, because thats all he did, he asked the question and then stared at me, until i completely finished the answer. The other one seemed confused on where he was in the packet. I was sent out and told they will get back to me with an answer, and then brought back because they skipped 3 pages of questions. All and all it was about 30-40 questions and in the end I was told im not "Overnight Grocery" material. (Mind you I have worked for 2 other retail places in my life, the last of which I was a manager, but somehow I did not have the ability to put bananas in the correct locations overnight) I was very turned off by the interview, it was not friendly it was like a firing squad with none of the management showing the ability to sway from the questions, there was no small talk, no personal questions, just reading from cue cards and giving a nominal score. If your going there for a job, be ready to answer an HUGE amount of questions.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart in Aug 2009
Interview
After putting in an application online, I was contacted a week later and set up for an interview. I attended the interview. I was interviewed by 2 different people, first an associate, then a member of management. The associate's questions were relatively easy, all asking about past experiences that might pertain to a work environment. For example, a time when I didn't get along with another person, how did I deal with my responsibilities while trying to maintain a friendly environment. After the associates interviews you, a member of management will have questions that are pretty much the same, but more specific. These are definitely harder because they require you, on the spot to think pretty hard. After my interview, I was giving 24 hours to piss in a cup at the local hospital. A week later, I was called in for orientation.
