Introduction
- If you've ever been to a Wal-Mart store, you've likely seen the official Wal-Mart greeter standing near the entrance, welcoming and providing assistance to shoppers. Although the majority of Wal-Mart greeters are retired senior citizens, anyone interested in the position can apply to be a greeter at their local Wal-Mart store.
-
Step 1: Understand the Position
- As a greeter, welcoming incoming customers to the store will be just one of your duties. You may also be asked to:
- Help customers find what they are looking for
- Assist customers with carts, wheelchairs and baskets
- Direct customers to the appropriate departments or employees
- Keep an eye out for and report potential and suspected shoplifters
- Check exiting customers receipts against their purchases
- Greeters may be full or part-time employees. Keep in mind that, as a greeter you will have to be on your feet for hours at a time.
-
Step 2: Apply
- To pursue a career as a Wal-Mart greeter, you will have to fill out and submit an application. There are two ways you can do so.
- Sign up and fill out an application through the official Wal-Mart careers website (http://walmartstores.com/Careers/)
- Ask for an application at your local Wal-Mart store and then fill it out and submit it
- Although it may not be required, your chances of getting hired may increase if you submit a resume and cover letter with your application. A cover letter and resume provide you with the opportunity to highlight your relevant qualifications and detail why you want to work as a Wal-Mart greeter.
- For more specific instructions on writing resumes and cover letters, refer to the following Mahalo guides:

Step 3: Follow Up
- If you're lucky, the Wal-Mart store to which you apply may be looking for a greeter, find that you meet their qualifications and hire you right away. In many cases, however, the position may not currently be open. If you're serious about getting hired as a greeter, follow up a few weeks after submitting your application.
- Find out who the hiring manager is at the location where you submitted your application
- Call or pay an in-person visit to the hiring manager
- Confirm that your application was received
- Reiterate your desire and qualifications to work as a Wal-Mart greeter
- Ask whether a position is available or likely to open up soon
- Following up with the hiring manager acts as a simple reminder of your application and desire for the job. Although you don't want to annoy or pester the person who will be hiring you, reminding them of your availability and providing them with a face to put to your name can increase your chances of getting hired.
-
Conclusion
- Whether you're a retired senior citizen like many other Wal-Mart greeters, or simply a person looking for a career in customer service, working as a Wal-Mart greeter may prove a rewarding job for you. Submit an application along with a resume and cover letter detailing your aspirations and qualifications and then follow up with the hiring manager every month or so if you don't hear back from them.
