I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Chehalis, WA) in Aug 2012
Interview
I applied around July 30th online and was called at like 8:30am on a Friday about two weeks later(August 10th). I was asleep and they left a message saying they will be taking callbacks until 10:00am. I didn't wake up until 11:30am and when I heard the message I was pretty bummed since I need a job. I did not call back since it was 11:30am.
However, at around 2:00pm I received two more calls from that number but didn't hear my phone. WTF! At like 2:20pm, I received ANOTHER call and I actually heard it. I picked up and was scheduled for an interview on the following Monday at 11am(August 13).
On that Monday, I arrived ten minutes early and had to wait until around 11:10am until the first interview. She was just a sales associate I think and didn't seem interested in me. She told me I was being interviewed for both the pet department and the cleaning supply/laundry supply department. She asked about five questions and didn't comment much. Made me sign a document and then I had to wait for the second interviewer.
At around 11:50am, I was called in with a manager of some sort, I don't remember his official job title. He was really upbeat and was really impressed that I, a 17 year old, had dressed in slacks and a dress shirt. He went on a rant about how most people only come in with dirty t-shirts. He then only asked me two question which I barely answered before he interrupted making conversation.
Nearing the end of that interview, he was set, ready to hire me. "Well, ____, I'd love to hire you, but I need to talk to personnel and see if we can hire a minor for this department since it involves chemicals (detergent, bleach, cleaning supplies, etc)." I had to wait in the waiting room again for about five minutes, and he came back out saying that I have to be 18.
That's been like the fourth interview that's ended like that "Sorry, you need to be 18." It's so annoying. He said that if any cart-pusher positions open soon that he will call and hire me, and that when I turn 18 in November he will move me to a different position. It's been two days, and I'm not so hopeful. But I have two interviews for two different Pizza Huts, so I'm not too upset.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (Commack, NY) in Jun 2011
Interview
A week after applying online I was contacted by human resources for a temp position helping out for 90 days while the store was being remodeled. I came in for an interview and was interviewed by a random manager the hr managed pulled. She asked me a couple of questions about my job history and a couple of scenario questions. She didn't even bother to write any of my responses down. The Hr came back in the room and gave me the drug testing information and told me they would call me in a few days. They called me about 3 days later and told me they were no longer remodeling the store but offered me a daytime position in the hba and cosmetics department.
