Conquering the Walmart Assessment: 2022 Edition (Because Let's Face It, 2021's Tactics Are So Last Season)
So, you've set your sights on the retail giant, the land of rollback prices and endless aisles. But before you can proudly wear that blue vest and greet customers with a booming "Welcome to Walmart!", there's a hurdle to jump – the infamous Walmart Assessment.
Fear not, my fellow adventurer! This guide will equip you with the knowledge (and a few laughs) to navigate this pre-employment quest.
Part 1: Knowing Your Enemy (Well, Not Exactly Enemy, But...)
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.![]()
The Walmart Assessment is a series of tests designed to unearth the hidden Walmart employee within you. It's a mix of personality quizzes that would make a chameleon blush, along with some scenarios that'll test your customer service skills under pressure (like dealing with a Karen who swears the magic bullet cure for hiccups is hidden in aisle 3).
Here's a breakdown of the main sections:

-
"Tell Us Your Story" – This is basically a fancy way of saying, "Spill the tea on your work history and personality." Be honest, but remember, Walmart wants a team player who can dodge rogue soccer balls in the toy aisle with the grace of a ninja.
-
"Describe Your Approach" – Buckle up for some personality profiling! These questions will try to figure out if you're more of a "Lone Wolf Larry" or a "Teamwork Tina."
-
"Handle Customer/Member Transactions" – Time to dust off those math skills! This section involves doling out change faster than you can say "receipt." Don't worry, you probably won't need to calculate rocket trajectories, but knowing the difference between a dime and a nickel is a plus.

Practice Makes Perfect (Except When You're Perfect Already, Obviously): There are plenty of resources online with sample questions. Take some practice tests to get a feel for the format and question types.

Inner Superhero, Activate! Channel your inner customer service superhero. Imagine yourself resolving conflicts with the charm of Captain America and the efficiency of Wonder Woman.

Be a Team Player (Even If You'd Rather Work Solo): Remember, teamwork is the dreamwork (at least according to the assessment). Even if you're secretly a solo flyer, emphasize your ability to collaborate and contribute to a positive work environment.
Part 3: You Did It! (Now Don't Do a Cartwheel Down Aisle 7)
Congratulations! You've conquered the assessment and are one step closer to retail superstardom (or at least a steady paycheck). Now, remember, the interview is next. But fear not, with the confidence you've gained from acing this assessment, you'll be ready to charm the socks off the hiring manager (figuratively speaking, of course. Stealing socks is definitely not a good look).

Bonus Tip: While there are no exact answers to the assessment, remember, honesty is always the best policy (plus, lying about your love for stocking shelves might come back to bite you later).

Just remember, even if things get a little crazy (and in retail, they often do), a smile, a can-do attitude, and the memory of this awesome guide will see you through. Now get out there and show Walmart what you're made of!
