I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement in Aug 2014
Interview
I saw the posting for the job on Lowes career page. I applied and submitted my resume. I then completed an assessment test that took about 45 min to complete. The assesment asked questions about personality and how you would handle a situation. It was fairly easy if you worked in retail for long enough and understand the customer service industry. I received an email from the regional hiring recruiter a few days after the close of the posting to schedule a time for a quick 30 min phone interview. This part was also fairly easy, she asked 4 situational questions, 2 about previous experience and 2 about how I would handle a situation working for lowes. A day later I received a call from a different person to ask to come down to the store and meet with the HRM and the store manager for a panel interview. They asked standardized questions, about 8-10, that dealt with previous experience with leadership issues and customer service issues. This process took about 1.5 hours. I did this on a Tuesday and I was told I would hear by Friday either way if I got the job. I got a call back the next day from the corporate recruiter with an offer. I took it .
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Anchorage, AK) in Oct 2024
Interview
I had 2 interviews. First interview with the Lowe's recruiter and she was super and in the end explained that she would assist/be an advocate to get me close to the annual salary I desired. She forwarded me to the SSM for an in person interview at the store. He gave a really fair and hard question interview. He took the time to get to know my style of leadership and welcomed ideas that I shared with him in my past positions. I got an offer and I asked both SSM and recruiter if we could get closer to my desired annual salary. Both were gracious and forwarded my counteroffer to higher powers at be. Painless negotiation and in the end, I accepted their final offer, they met me 97% of what I asked for and the ability to bonus 2 times a year has me way over my compensation. I am excited to become a part of the Lowe's family.
