I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement in Jan 2010
Interview
I initially applied to Lowe's online and got no response. I was informed that applying at the actual site "employment application computer" was preferable to applying through the main website, so I did that and got no response. I visited the store and was told that a manager would contact me to let me know the status _ no one did. I tried again about 6 months later after discovering a couple of people from my church worked there. I reapplied using one of my church members as an employee referral and I was interviewed and hired within a month.

Question 1
Would you please tell me about a work experience that required dealing with an irate customer and how you handled 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.
