I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement in Mar 2009
Interview
After the phone interview I was asked to come in at a set time to interview with the manager. When I arrived, I was actually interviewed by a different manager, who then set up another date and time for me to come back again. The process seemed to take long because I was out of work at the time however, I realize they were moving fast considering they have other tasks like running a store to deal with as well.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Most questions started with: "Tell me about a time when...." They are looking for sitaution, action taken, outcome. All very straightforward, and customer, and or morale based.
I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Yonkers, NY)
Interview
It starts with an online application, sometimes followed by a short 15–20 minute phone or video screen where a recruiter checks your availability, experience and communication skills. After that, you’ll have an in-person interview with the hiring manager covering customer service, teamwork and basic job capabilities, with questions like how you’d handle a price dispute or a short register drawer.

They asked me personal questions like hobbies I do and stuff outside of work. Asked about prior experience. The usual stuff. No questions like what would you do in this situation.
