I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement in Sep 2013
Interview
I was called for an interview for a 25 to 30 hour a week customer service associate after applying about 3 weeks earlier. I met with the Human Resources person on Monday and had about a 25 minute interview (she asked me about 10 questions) and then she asked me to come back the next day to meet the assistant store manager. I came back the next day (Tuesday) and met with the assistant store manager and he asked me about 10 questions (the same as before but worded differently) and we spoke for about 20 minutes. He then had me ask him some questions and he asked me to come back the next day to see the store manager.
Finally, I came back on Wednesday and met with the store manager and we talked for a good half an hour and she said she would hire me pending I passed a background check and an Oral (saliva) drug test. She game me the deal and the contract stipulation paperwork. I happily signed and then gave them my Social Security information as well as an ID and they put in my background check information whilst I took a drug test.
They said they would call me the next Monday to set up orientation (the drug test is sent via Fed Ex to Quest Diagnostics in Sarasota Florida which can take a day or two to be analyzed). I got a call Monday and began a 5 day training on Tuesday.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All the questions were very basic (mostly "name a time when"). The hardest part was trying to relay my volunteer/school experience to getting a job with little retail experience.

Interview
Did an online application and got a call from the Store Manager the following day. Did 1 interview with him and the Store's HR Manager. I was chosen for the position of the 24 applicants. Management experience is a plus. I was a Staples Store Manager for 5 years prior to this and before Staples took a dive.

Question 1
All uniformed questions. Some behavioral and some "tell me about a time..." or situational questions. Nothing really unexpected. Have a good answer for all basic questions relevant to Customer Service, Sales, People Management, People Development, PnL management.

Interview
The Hiring Process was pretty quick, of course there was the usual later than promised phone calls and such, but overall it was pretty quick. The interview was done by two different people, but I didn't care for the interview because all they did was read me questions off a sheet of paper and write my response, wasn't really an interview in my opinion. Overall though with the people involved, a very positive experience.
