I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Washington, DC) in Sept 2013
Interview
the store was not yet opened and so i was required to go to a job center they held for job seekers. I was interviewed and cleared by at least 2 people before getting the job. There were so many job seekers in the Washington D,C area location where the interview process took place. I forgot the exact number but i believe at least 2300 people or more applied for the Walmart location that I was striving to get hired into and I think that only around 500-600 of us were accepted.

applied online. phone call from manager who asks few questions on the phone then invites to irl interview then ask few more questions then phone call few days later to offer job.
Automated video interview, answer questions with a prompt. The questions are all basic questions that would typically be asked in a hiring recruiter screen. Didn’t seem very difficult and was very straight forward to complete.
It was pretty standard for the industry. I was asked about my prior experience, current goals, and opportunity for upward mobility at the specific store and at the broader organization.
