I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Walmart (Blackfoot, ID) in Jun 2012
Interview
The online application was simple. A few days later, I got a phone call from the store asking if I could come in during the next week for an interview. I accepted and came in, dressed in just jeans and a nice shirt with tennis shoes. One of the managers took me into one of the back rooms and asked me a list of questions. This was my first job interview ever, so I was probably more nervous than I should have been. The manager asked me very simple questions, but I was sweating up a storm. At the end of the interview, however, the manager told me that it was very likely that I was going to be hired because I answered all of the questions very impressively.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most difficult question: "Describe a time when you were faced with an unexpected problem and you had to make an on-the-spot decision to fix the problem. Did you solve the problem on your own or did you need help?"
Very simple and straight to the point. Management asks basic get to know you questions but truly wants to know if you are reliable and dependable. They want to ensure you will show up to work.

How can I contribute to the overall success of my team?
The interview process was straightforward and simple. I have yet to experience on boarding, but will update when completed.
Anxious to see what the starting rate is.
I am supposed to receive an email tomorrow about next steps.
Was quick and easy! Showed up for hiring event and got hired on the spot! And started working like a week later. Been a good company so far. Spoke with Kiera. She is very nice and understanding.
