Department Manager Interview

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Positive experience

Difficult interview

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Walmart in Aug 2015

Interview

The questions are not "where do you see yourself in five years" or "if you had a superpower what would it be". Walmart's interview questions are competency related and usually start with "name a time" and then you explain the issue, how you solved including what resources you used to solve the issue.
