Interview
I applied on lowe's internet site on a Sunday and the next day I received a phone call to come in for an interview on Thursday. I had two interviews one with an HR and the department manager. One week later due to busy schedules human resources had me come back in on Thurs to take drug test and background check done. I now start Aug 5. Im part time but that can always change :)

Interview
Each store hires independently... Have to pass psych test online... Then monitor each store in your geographic range weekly and apply to each opening you are willing to take... I tracked 4-5 stores for 2-3 months and applied for many positions before being called for 2-4 different positions... The people who contacted me were unaware of their peers who had also contacted me... Ended up interviewing for 2 different sales specialist positions simultaneously with store manager -- after online screening -- after separate phone and store interviews for district positions... store manager skipped preliminaries and engaged directly for 30-45 minutes with open ended questions interspersed with me providing background info... Answered standard sort of 'what if' type questions, attitude questions, etc... My impression of the process is it is mainly dependent on the store, the manager(s), and how badly they need someone and how well you present yourself.. If you are more professional, experienced, and present yourself well, you can get a higher offer... The offer you accept more or less locks you into what you will continue to get -- if you want more, do well and transfer positions or seek promotions...
