I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Middletown, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
Originally applied online for a seasonal part time position in Outside Lawn and Garden. Currently have been at the store almost two years, I've interviewed for Appliances Specialist, SOS/Credit Coordinator, Home Decor full-time, Installed Sales Coordinator, Head Cashier, and Customer Service desk full time. All the interview questions for each position were similar if not word-for-word. Depending on the position, you first get called by HR, are told a bit about the position (expected amount of hours per week, availability, previous experience), and if you are still interested you get an Interview with an ASM and (usually) the Dept Manager. Sometimes HR will do the interview. The interviewer goes through the same worksheet of questions for all of the aforementioned position. You are then called and given an offer contingent on passing a background check and drug test (mouth swab).

Question 1
Name a time you were in a potentially unsafe situation at work, and how did you handle it?
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.
