I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Mooresville, NC) in Oct 2010
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiting firm to apply for a position at Lowe's HQ (contract). The interview was about as easy as it could be...sat with the hiring manager and a creative director for about an hour and we walked through my resume and portfolio. They were very nice and made me feel instantly welcome.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Because this was a contractor position there were no difficult questions, just "tell me about yourself" kind of stuff. If you apply for a full-time position however, you will be asked a minimum of three of the annoying HR questions.
