I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Salina, KS) in Nov 2009
Interview
I was called back after the first interview with Lowe's to complete a mandatory drug test and other computer based testing. I recieved a phone call a few days later saying I got the job and they would call me in for training once they had selected a few more people so they could train us all together. They never called back, and when I called to find out when I could start, they would never return my phone calls.
I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Zephyrhills, FL)
Interview
Rather easy interview process. There were only a handful of questions that were pretty standard for a retail position. When the interview was scheduled, I was told it was one person, but ended up being another person conducting the interview, which wasn't a big deal, but when you go in to the place it's nice to ask for the correct person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When was a time that you've gone above and beyond for a customer?
It was Easy and I was able to get the job done. It was a good experience and I had a great time. Questions asked were about my experience with home improvement.
Pretty easy interview. Basic questions about work history. What experience you have pertaining to the role. A few scenario questions about customer interaction and teamwork. Pretty much show confidence you can handle the job.
