### Post-Submission Follow-Up Once your application is submitted, the hiring team for your selected location will review your materials, typically within 3 to 7 business days for entry-level store roles, and longer for corporate or specialized distribution center positions. If your background aligns with the role requirements, a hiring manager will contact you via the phone number or email address listed on your profile to schedule an interview. You can check the status of your application at any time by logging into your Walmart careers account online, or by visiting the store location in person and asking to speak to the hiring team. Ensure your contact information remains up to date on your profile to avoid missing outreach from hiring staff. If you are unable to access the online portal, you can call the store’s main phone line and ask to be connected to the hiring department for guidance on alternative application options.

How to Submit a Walmart Job Application Online and In-Person
## Overview Walmart accepts job applications via two official channels: its online career portal, and in-person at physical store locations. Both submission methods route your application directly to hiring managers for the specific roles and store or distribution center sites you select, with no application fees required for any position. The online pathway is the primary option for all corporate, distribution center, and most store roles, while in-person submission is tailored for entry-level store positions for applicants who prefer in-person support or have limited access to digital tools. ### How to Submit an Online Walmart Job Application Navigate to the official Walmart Careers website at careers.walmart.com, the only authorized online portal for all Walmart job applications, to avoid fraudulent third-party sites. Create a free account using a valid email address, or sign in if you have an existing profile from a previous application. Use the search bar to filter open roles by location, job category (such as store associate, delivery driver, or corporate operations), or keyword, then select the specific position and work site you want to apply for. Complete the required application form, which includes sections for personal contact information, work and education history, eligibility to work in the United States, and role-specific screening questions (such as availability and relevant experience). Note that Walmart never charges application fees, and will never request payment, bank account information, or sensitive personal data (such as your Social Security number) during the initial application process to help you avoid scams. Submit your completed application, and save a copy of the confirmation number or email for your records. You can use your saved profile to apply to additional open roles at other Walmart locations without re-entering your basic information. ### How to Submit an In-Person Walmart Job Application Visit the Walmart store location you wish to work at during regular business hours, bringing a valid government-issued photo ID and your Social Security number to verify work eligibility. Locate the in-store hiring kiosk, typically positioned near the customer service desk or main entrance, or ask a store associate for directions to the hiring area if you cannot find the kiosk. Use the kiosk to create a Walmart careers account, search for open roles at that specific store, and complete the same application form required for online submissions. On-site staff are available to assist with technical issues or questions about the application process if needed. Submit your application via the kiosk, and request a copy of the confirmation receipt if you would like a physical record of your submission. Some locations may also offer paper applications for entry-level roles for applicants who are unable to use the digital kiosk, though digital submission is preferred for faster processing.
