I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Menards (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2013
Interview
Before the interview you will fill out an application of sorts that also has a personality test. After finishing the paper work you will sit down one on one with a representative from the company. The interviewer was nice and personable, we talked about previous work experience and how it could help while working with Manards. The interviewer went over the job in detail and answered any questions I had about the position. Very low pressure interview that was extremely helpful in making a decision.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I do not recall any particularly difficult questions. They ask you about your previous experiences and how it could apply to what you will be doing if you are hired.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Menards
Interview
They ask very general questions. The interview process is very easy. If you are willing to work long hours for low pay for a year you will eventually start to see improvements in your pay. The only problem with that is the more you move up in the organization the longer you have to work. All of the general managers work over 55 hours a week. This job is very time consuming and will be your entire life but after a year you should expect 45,000-60,000.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Menards (Matteson, IL) in Jun 2012
Interview
After I filled out the online application I received a phone call for an interview a couple of days later. The HR lady was very nice, the interview was quick and easy. She basically told me I was over qualified even though I am a recent college grad. She said sometimes they have college grads come in and they refer them to corporate positions in Eau Claire, WI and I should apply. She said that she would talk to the store manager and I haven't heard from them since. I emailed her and still no response. I feel that even if I am over qualified, if I chose to take a management position to work my way up then I should have that choice. The pay doesn't sound like much, but when you take into account all of the bonuses and benefits its amazing. If I ever have a desire to move to Eau Claire, then I would apply for corporate.

Question 1
None, they're all basic questions... lol all three of them.
