Walmart Recruitment Process

1. The Application- Visit any Walmart store or online to get the application.
2. The Assessment Test- To get an idea of how you would deal with certain situations concerning customers, supervisors, co-workers, and problems in general. 
3. The First Interview- Walmart interview 3 candidates for every job to choose the best candidates. 
4. The Second Interview- They are interested in you from the first interview.
5. Orientation-  learning about Walmart, last for three days.

Here's the example of application form.

The advertisement does not reflect much on their corporate culture but I think that recruitment in Walmart is fair and equal opportunities. Every one has the opportunity to work there. Everyone has to go through the process. No one can skip it so that Walmart can choose the best candidate. Walmart also recruits a lot of veterans because veterans tend to find job harder. A lot of good comments from the workers that work in Walmart which cause even more people want to join Walmart. Managers are also kind and friendly to the workers because this is what Walmart wants.

For me, working in Walmart can gain a lot of experience. So if I have chance, I will work in there. I can choose a part time job in there.
