Phone interview tomorrow. What should I expect?

Imissed the "hello walmart drivers " at the beginning of the op post,sorry..Yes,I was giving generic company advice.I have heard Walmart pays great...if you can follow All of the Rules.

 

I applied to the Johnstown NY dc last year and they called me about a month later. I did the phone interview the following week they had me go down to Marcy New York DC and I did a pre-trip and road test and passed they gave me a little white card by the safety guy. And then they had me immediately afterwards go do a DOT physical and I passed that. About a week later I got a call from Arkansas the people doing the vetting process told me they can't hire me because one of the trucks I drove in the oil field was a "straight " truck. I wasn't going to argue with a pencil Pusher over the phone trying to explain what it was I drove for that one job so I let it go it wasn't meant to be.

 

I know their are plenty of ways to jack knife, what were your 3 causes?

 

Doing a walmart pretrip, do you have to get under the truck /

 

No, just tell them what you would look for.

 

Yes get under the truck and point out everything. Do the pretrip exactly like you would normally. Get your hands dirty and tell them exactly what you're looking for.

 

Please stop giving all these guys step by step instructions on what to do to get this job. You're part of the reason our fleet's quality of driver has been going down.

 

Yes second this and share same thought process. I don't mind helping out with general questions and such. But I don't think we should "give away answers to the test". When people ask what will the questions on phone interview be? And what do I need to show on pretrip? Either you know it or you don't. If the person wants job bad enough, and they are actually a safe compliant, driver all the time and do things correctly, they will have no problem getting hired. Conversely anyone given answers to the test can fudge their way through once, then go back to their old ways/ bad habits once hired and be the weak link of the fleet. For the most part we all worked hard and put in our dues to get where we are today. Remember it only takes a couple to tarnish the image of the many

 

Thx. Are you looking the job ?
