I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Lake Charles, LA) in Jan 2011
Interview
The hiring process was fairly easy. They contacted me fairly quickly from when I submitted my application and had in human resources by next morning. The whole thing consisted of two interviews. One with a human resources staffer who goes over the job and requirements and then asks a few behavioral questions mostly dealing with how you handle mistakes and dealing with customers. The second interview is with a high ranking manager type who is their to feel you out and also asks behavioral questions which also mostly deal with mistakes, handling specific customer situations, and why you would fit in. They were both the easy-going types and have a great sense of humor.

The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Epping, NH) in Feb 2011
Interview
I responded to an on line ad for seasonal openings. Applied for three positions and did the on-line assessment. 85 questions! You would have thought the position was with the CIA. It's really just putting grills together. I got a phone interview in a couple of days, mostly about my retail experience or lack of it. An interview was scheduled at the store. Recieved an email the day before the interview that one of the positions was already gone. I showed up and waited a few minutes for the HR manager. She really didn't ask a lot of questions, just told me about the position. She was distracted by a phone call and she searched the place for some file she needed. She complained about the young kids who take the position and then call in sick when ever the sun comes out. For that kind of money, I can see why.
