I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Menards (Ankeny, IA) in Jul 2011
Interview
Went in to fill out app, was called a couple weeks later for an interview, met with my would-be manager instead of the HR only because that's how they did it for the front-end at that time. Had a drug test and started the next week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most unexpected question for me was only unexpected because of my age. They asked how many hours I wanted, and I hadn't thought about it because most jobs limit the hours for younger employees, but here you can work as often as you like.
Basic retail job interview. Selective process especially for the location. Best to know someone if you are looking for a part time job. High school student at the time. Pay was good.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Menards (Coon Rapids, MN) in May 2025
Interview
Walked in and headed towards the back of the building and they asked me very simple HR questions that were easy to answer. Typically regarding to how much experience you have in retail and how you work in a team.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Menards in Apr 2025
Interview
Just a standard interview, you do have to take a survey about drugs, stealing, and alcohol. Questions were mostly about yourself and how you can benefit the company. Overall very fast, I was in and out in 15 minutes.
