I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement in Feb 2010
Interview
Had to interview with HR Manager, Zone Manager, and Store Manager before being offered the job. A ton of "tell me about a time when" type questions. I filled out the application on the in-store computer and was called for an interview about a week later. It took a total of approx. 2 weeks to be hired.
The good: Lowe's promotes from within if at all possible
The bad: Starting pay tends to be low, particularly in this economy
The ugly: Retail hours. Say goodbye to weekends, holidays, etc
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time that you had a disagreement with a fellow employee; how did you handle it
It was Easy and I was able to get the job done. It was a good experience and I had a great time. Questions asked were about my experience with home improvement.
Pretty easy interview. Basic questions about work history. What experience you have pertaining to the role. A few scenario questions about customer interaction and teamwork. Pretty much show confidence you can handle the job.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Ormond Beach, FL) in Apr 2025
Interview
I waited longer for the interview than the interview lasted, whole interview lasted about 10 minutes. They asked a few standard customer service type questions, like how you dealt with a difficult customer. They did not even want my resume.
