I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Springfield, IL)
Interview
The Interview was with SM & ASM. It's a structured interview so each applicant is asked the same questions. If selected, you will complete a drug screen and background check.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They had mostly "what would you do" type questions.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Lynnwood, WA)
Interview
Offered a number of time slots for the interview through auto-scheduling, which Seemed nice at the time.
Arrived at the interview to find the person I Should have been speaking with was Not scheduled to be in the office that day, and That person had the sole authority to hire.
Person I spoke with didn't have authority but merely recommendation ability.
He was nice enough, though, and was impressed at what I brought to the job (certification in the actual field in the dept. interviewing for).
I was informed I Would get a recommendation and that I'd very, very likely be hired and would hear within a couple days.
A week and a half later, I called to speak with the person I interviewed with because I had not heard back, and he was Shocked I hadn't already been hired, "You were to be offered the job, I thought you had already accepted!"
I responded by reiterating what he said, and stated, too, "So, you Know I was to be offered the job, that an offer was to be made, and the intention was to hire me?" Response: "Yes!"
I was told to expect the job offer the next day; when I checked my email, I was informed "Lowe's" decided to proceed with other candidates.
Hum.
In my opinion, do Not bother with Lowe's. It's process not worth the exasperation.
Note: I also learned that the merchandising positions are actually hired, and managed, through a third-party company, and not directly through Lowe's. The party is on-site, working alongside actual Lowe's employees. It's been this way for a few years now.
[And, dear reader:
I wish you the best in your job search. Hang in there! ]
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement in Jun 2023

Very simple, the interview questions are situational and very basic, got hired within a week of the process, I enjoyed working there, application online is also simple, the pay is also great
