I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement in Feb 2010
Interview
Interviewed with HR person and then a Zone Manager and finally with the store manager. The HR and Zone Manager asked a series of predetermined behavioral interview questions. Be prepared to answer a series of "tell me of a time" questions based upon your prior experience. Don't try to bluff your way through because with behavioral questions it's pretty obvious when you can't answer the question.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you couldn't help a customer.
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.

Question 1
When was a time that you've gone above and beyond for a customer?
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.
