Just wondering if anyone was told when this position was starting? Pay grade? Any insight on the job description/expectations? How long will current PC/TC have to find another position? I know our PC was never told that her position was being eliminated. Just that she could apply for the new one.

Try to understand and help what bothers the customer. Try to calm them down. If it does not work ask for help, find a manger. Tell them you need to learn return policies, etc. More policies you know the more you can solve on the spot. If unable to help, find someone who can.
- 5) What experience do you have?
If no experience that's OK, just tell them that you are hard working and you'll be fine. WMT hires a lot of people with no experience. Tell them why you think you are a hard worker. If you have experience, be brief, describe it - do not meander and beat the bush - be concrete, tell them what's asked and ask them if your answer satisfied their question. They will tell you if you need to expand. This is your time to praise yourself, do not be too modest, but do not go bananas as it relates to self-promotion.

Here is a trick: READ THE JOB DESCRIPTION. You should know it by heart. And pick things from the job desc that play into your favor and tell the.
Tell them that you get along with people well, people like to work with you and you enjoy working in teams. Easy to adjust.
Tell them you cope with change well and that you are good with math, do not be surprised if they ask you how much is 20% of $25 dollars.
Do not lie, if any of the above do not apply do not tell them - you will just hurt yourself. DO not lie.

The interview was a couple hours long. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. Just be confident and know your business case very well. They will ask questions!
Post the business case scenario you had on here after your interview to help others out. We will all have different scenarios, so we can at least get a general idea
My interview is tomorrow also... I don’t currently work at Walmart so I’m flying blind on the interview.
I was selected as a candidate. The panel interviews start tomorrow. Wish me luck.
The interviews are next week. Everyone that has been picked to move on in the process, has been told. The interview will be a business case scenario that we must present to a room after having 20 minutes to come up w presentation, and then a round of interviews at different tables with market and regional.

Job description is basically what PC ‘s now do plus a lot more. People lead will work closely to store manager.
So what, people partners get to go to Bentonville for training? Yah right. I don't believe that.
There are classes that are in Bentonville. They are intended for HO.
5000+ People partners going to Bentonville for training? Seems incredibly unlikely !
Academy training yes, home office no.
What source said training was done in Bentonville??
Training is on the People Update Toolkit
We were told training on Excel, Word and Power Point would be downloaded on glms mid February. It's there, but you register for classes in Bentonville. It's not a simple cbl to take. You actually have to go to Bentonville! Hoping there will be something on it all soon. I started self teaching myself Excel. I already have some Word and Power Point training, but need more.
we were told computer classes for Word, Powerpoint, Excel done online at work. Rest of HR classes will be done at Academy, like scheduling, workforce planning, and more.
Position sounds quite like what they already do now. Just reduced to 1 person.
When it officially comes, they will give us 60 days notice with a job end date like they usually do. Then we can get into the interview pool. Remember, if you preference for it, you will not be able to open and view the requisition.
I thought the upskill training for the programs were online, not Academy?
New position will be called People Partner. It starts Q3. We were told we have to interview for it. No PC or TC is guaranteed it. Pay grade D. Schedule will be evenings,nights, weekends, No more Monday through Friday 7-4. Have to take upskilling courses, Word, Powerpoint, Excel plus other classes at Academy to prep for new role. New role will encompass Orientation, Scheduling, attendance and Associate relations as well as hiring. This is all I know for now. Position will be open to anyone internal as well as external.
