Great Question david king . You worked for Walmart so this of this for one second. Walmart receives on average several hundred application per job opening. Literally thousands at some locations!

If the hiring managers spent their time answering random phone calls form all those applicant in their application pools they would never have any time to do, well, actual store management and day to day operations.

Online applications have changed the dynamic of how companies recruit and hire applicants. So today, if your application isn't 100% match to the job description of what the company is specifically looking for you will not be contacted.

Sounds harsh, I know, but that the way the hiring process is done today unfortunately. So, here's what you can do... Craft a customized and optimized application for the Walmart position you're pursuing then re-apply online for that job. Call the store after you apply and ask to speak to the Personnel Manager. If you're able to make contact via phone do not focus on the past. Keep the conversation positive and focus ONLY the positive contributions your skill and experience can add to support the store team goals.

Still can't connect with the HR managers via phone. Then stop by the store during off peak-time hours and try to make a face to face impression.

Done all this already and still no contact or call back. Network with someone in a leadership role in the company to connect you with a job or simply keep looking for employment opportunities elsewhere. Don't get Stuck. Best of Luck david king
