Interview
I have worked for Lowes for many years and decided to move up to a department manager. I applied for numerous position both in my store as well as nearby store. I interviewed for 5 manager positions before I was given the opportunity to become a department manager. I was told the interview is a critical part of the hiring process. Each position you apply for has preset questions and the HR manager and interview manager will ask 6 questions out of a pool of 12-15 questions.

Question 1
The question that are asked have to do with how you have handles a situation with a difficult customer. Also question about how you motivate a employee who is not motivated. Another question is about how you could increase sales.

Interview
Pretty straight forward retail interview, no real surprises. If you have ever gone through any other interview you will be just fine. Be ready to have at least 2 people in the room during the interview though, that's very common.

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (North Western, NY) in Jul 2016
Interview
One interview with ASM Zone Manager, The other with HR. They used me for the 3rd interview. They already knew who they wanted. I am an internal employee. The entire process was a dog and pony show. A complete waste of my own time. They wonder why they have the lowest EOS scores in the region. After six weeks I had to call them. That is the last time I will apply for a Dept. Mgr position with Lowes. Unfortunately, that's how they also treat top-performers within the company.
