Applied on Thursday, called on Monday, interviewed on Thursday, drug tested at interview (was a good sign I was getting a job), Thursday afternoon store manager called and offered me a job, I accepted, Saturday the official offer came via email along with background check questionnaire and phone call to answer any questions. All the tests and background check should come back by Tuesday and I would start Wed. So almost two weeks. But, I have a feeling that this particular store is an exception...I had a really great experience with the interview as well

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.

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.
