I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Hagerstown, MD) in Dec 2011
Interview
Applied online for several open positions. Took a basic understanding/personality type test online. No resume needed. Was called within a week of applying and had an initial interview. Interviewed with HR manager and assistant store manager. Offer of job was contingent upon a negative drug test and criminal background check. Overall process was easier than most and handled smoothly.
