  "account": "Walmart's chief people officer, Donna Morris, shares three positive indicators she looks for during job interviews, regardless of the position. The first green flag is a genuine alignment with the company's purpose and values. The second is the ability to handle multiple responsibilities and overcome challenges, demonstrating \"a track record of grit.\" These individuals, according to Morris, are those who have faced adversity and persevered. She believes such candidates have typically worked on the frontline, as many Walmart employees have customer-facing roles. The third positive indicator is a passion for making a difference, which Morris considers a \"big green flag.\" She asks candidates the question, \"If I was to ask people who've worked for you before, what would they tell me?\" This open-ended query generates genuine responses and helps her assess whether the applicant emphasizes servant leadership. Morris, who began her career at 13, believes firsthand work experience, especially in frontline roles, is invaluable. While a degree from an Ivy League institution is beneficial, she emphasizes the importance of learning from practical work experiences, such as overcoming hardships.",
