I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Eugene, OR) in Dec 2008
Interview
Three-interview process, using "situational" scenarios. (Tell me about a time you had to make a difficult decision - what was it and what did you decide?...Tell me about a time you had a disagreement with your supervisor - what happened and how did you resolve it?...If you see an empty shelf in your department, what would you do?) You will be drug tested. Your first interview is with HR to see if you meet the bare minimum, and then upward to the store manager. They only take online applications.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a conflict at work. What was the conflict and how did you resolve it.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Fargo, ND) in Aug 2012
Interview
Was contacted by phone a couple weeks after I applied for the job. She was the HR Manager at the store I applied too in Fargo, ND. I was not available for a sit down interview at the time, so we scheduled a phone interview for later that week. The interview with the HR manager was personal and in my opinion wasn't hard. When have you had to go out of the way for a customer..., When did you have an argument with a co-worker..., When have you had to sell something.... Very normal questions. We then set up a time for me to do a phone interview with the store manager the next day. His questions were basically the same except for maybe 2. Both lasted no longer than 10 minutes. Was contacted 5 days later to take a drug screening (mouth swab). I then was offered the job 3 days later.
