I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Mobile, AL) in Oct 2016
Interview
Applied online to Lowe's, which has a fairly good careers website to apply. I was emailed to schedule an interview and went in person to the store a few days later. Met with my potential boss and had a good interview and conversation, lasting about 20 minutes. I was asked about my previous retail/job experience, which I had no retail experience at the time, and therefore detailed how I could apply my character and would learn quickly. Was hired as a Customer Service Associate for the Lumber/Building Materials department.
I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Zephyrhills, FL)
Interview
Rather easy interview process. There were only a handful of questions that were pretty standard for a retail position. When the interview was scheduled, I was told it was one person, but ended up being another person conducting the interview, which wasn't a big deal, but when you go in to the place it's nice to ask for the correct person.
