Interviewed Aug 2009 in Gilroy, CA (took a day)
Very laid back interview. Started by being introduced to the two managers. They sat down with me and asked me a series of basic interview questions. After this walked around and showed me the store. Was told I was going to receive a second interview with cooperate but never received a phone call.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Raleigh, NC (took a day)
Applied to a job position listed on my university's website. Submitted resume and cover letter. Intervew lasted for about 45min and was with a regional manager. Interviewer gave me information about his role within the company, information about the Manager-in-training position, and informed that he would ask me questions centered around 7 main qualities/characteristics that are sought in an ideal candidate. All of the questions were behavioral in nature (i.e., "describe a situation in which you....").

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Austin, TX (took a day)
The guy that interviewed me was really nice. I interviewed at a Sherwin-Williams location inside the store. There was a desk/makeshift office in the corner of the store where the interview was held. When I got there he was interviewing someone else. Meanwhile I made small talk with the employees (it is recommended that you do so). The Interviewer was from HR, he asked me really general questions. The first one was to go through my work experience (pretty much my whole resume). He asked why I wanted to work at Sherwin-Williams. Nothing too hard was asked.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Detroit, MI (took 3 weeks)
Submitted my resume through a university career fair. Scheduled an interview in their location of Oak Park MI. Interviewed with the Regional Director. Interview consisted of a series of questions asking things related to retail selling. When planning for the interview i went to the website and researched. I knew who first started the company, what year they originated. Where they fell on the FORTUNE lists, and who their major competitors were. My interviewer was very impressed with everything i knew coming in so i would definitely do some research going into the interview. I also sent a thank you letter which i think helped. Also when interviewing they will ask you if you are able to work with heavy materials, you will definitely have to do this so make sure you have some muscles.

Interviewed May 2007 (took 4+ weeks)
Invited to a 1:1 through a college recruiting event. First, they show you a video about the company and then try to clear up any questions you have about the paint industry. Basic interview questions, tell me about yourself, what are your goals in life, where do you see yourself in 5 years etc. They did ask what skills I have that would put me above the competition, being able to speak spanish is a huge advantage. After the basic 1:1 you must complete store visits and interview the store managers, they provide all the questions to ask the managers but it doesn't hurt to come up with some of your own. I had to complete three store visits before the final interview with the district manager. All interview question were the same and very basic, pretty much scripted right from their question database.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Lafayette, LA (took 4 weeks)
After I visited them at a job fair, I received an e-mail saying they would like to interview me. The interview was set up about a month in advance. At the interview, the interviewer seemed very impressed with my resume and my qualifications. He asked some behavioral questions (what have you done in this situation). About a week later, I received an e-mail saying that I wasn't offered a position, which was a shock to me, as the interview seemed to go very well (I guess they seem that way most of the time). My only thought is that maybe they were looking for someone less qualified to justify paying them less.
