Insider Tips: How to Land a Job at Walmart
A recent viral video by TikTok user 'bout45secondsfromwildin' offers an unconventional yet practical guide to securing employment at Walmart. The creator, seemingly an insider, shares strategies beyond the typical application process. According to the video, applicants should emphasize 'open availability' on their applications across all sections. Crucially, the creator advises against repeatedly calling Walmart's general HR or personnel lines, noting that these departments are often overwhelmed and rarely pick up. Instead, a more effective approach is to visit the store in person and directly speak with a team lead or coach in the desired department. For those interested in overnight stocking, the video suggests visiting between 8 PM and 10 PM, particularly on Saturdays, when team leads and coaches are likely to be present. During this brief in-person interaction, applicants should introduce themselves, express interest in a specific position, mention their open availability, and inquire about setting up an interview. Having contact information readily available is also vital. For the interview and subsequent orientation, the video stresses the importance of dressing in business casual attire to make a strong first impression. The creator also highlights Walmart's point system for attendance, advising new hires to be aware of key dates to avoid accumulating points that could lead to termination. This direct, insider perspective provides valuable insights for aspiring Walmart employees.
