Benefits of Working At Walmart

Many people have criticized Walmart over the years for everything from relatively low hourly wages to lack of healthcare. While many of these criticisms are valid, and we hope Walmart continues to improve, it does not negate the fact that for many with odd schedules, zero work experience, or people needing immediate employment it is a trusted and reliable source of instant work and thus, a dependable paycheck.

A lot different types of jobs exist in each and every Walmart, and given they have a presence in almost every medium-to-large sized city in America, there is plenty to go around.

The jobs themselves vary from position name to work hours to pay. Walmart has different payment methods including hourly payments on shifts as well as daily payments. So you can decide to go to night school and work at the same time. 

Most In-Demand Jobs at Walmart Include: 

• Hourly paid jobs
• Warehouse and packaging jobs
• Cashier (check out our Cashier resume guide for help writing an effective resume)

These are jobs that exist and are not limited to the total number of jobs that Walmart gives out. Given the sheer size of their workforce positions are constantly opening and closing so make sure to check back frequently for updated positions. 

Once you’ve identified the role you want, it’s time for applying. The online registration form is uploaded (either from your home PC or via an in-store application booth) and it is pretty easy to fill. Required headings include:

• Personal information including age, gender, e.t.c.
• Education
• Qualifications
• How soon can you start work 
• Your past work experiences
• Your stand-in references
• Preferred job departments

Upon submission, if the position applied for is open and available, then the Hiring unit will reach out to you for an interview. This process involves an assessment test and a face-to-face interview with a store manager. 

How to Fill Out the Walmart Assessment Form Correctly

The assessment form includes a bit more information than the registration form. this form is not needed for all jobs positions available. It is used to figure out your compatibility with the company and where you can be of more benefit to the organization. You can get this application online or at any of their hiring spots at their stores.

If you are applying in person, keep copies of your documents in case they are required of you while submitting the filled form. When applying online, please make sure you have soft copies of the same documents so you can upload whatever is needed immediately. 

Walmart accepts applications in 2 languages, Spanish and English languages. If you are bilingual this is an enormous advantage as the demand for flexible staff is higher than ever before across most of the United States. 

The first thing you will do while completing the assessment form is to accept that Walmart can conduct a background check on you. This is not to discriminate against anyone, whether formerly incarcerated or not, it is just to make sure that all proper information needed is available for the company. Also to vet your behavior when the job is accepted by you. Drug tests may also be conducted to check your mental status before you are offered a position. 

If you have a client account, that cannot be used for applications. You will need to create an applicant account and if you already have one, just log in as an already existing applicant. 

Tips for Filling Out an Impressive Assessment Form
