I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Menards (Saint Paul, MN) in Mar 2010
Interview
I applied online and heard back within 1 day, interviewed within 3 days and was hired on the 4th day. I had a reference name from someone working in the store at the time. This was in the spring - they hire mostly in march-may. They LOVE college students. I had no prior retail experience, the interview was very standard, no unexpected questions at all, and the HR girl was pretty much just glad that I was kind of excited and not a drug addict or retired plumber.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
If I called your previous 3 employers, what do you think they would say about you?
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Menards
Interview
The interview process for Menards was very simple and straightforward. Human Resources representative was knowledgeable and I interviewed with the department manager of the department that I was interviewing for.
Very easy, simple questions that they ask. Usually with the general manager and maybe with the department head. Pretty quick to getting back for the interview process and offering the position.
The interview was in person and lasted about 45 minutes. A GM will sit in on the interview with you and ask additional questions (usually more in depth, especially if there is an area of concern in your application or answers). There are about two pages of questions but most are pretty standard.

Question 1
They will first ask the standard tell me about yourself but their main and biggest question was "What do you offer that stands out more than our other applicants for this position. What can you offer us that others cant?"
