Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time you had to go out your way for a customer ?
I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Richmond, VA)
Interview
The interview was informal and awkward, with little communication or instructions. The questions were awkward as well. The position was also not advertised or described as a sales position, it focused mainly on working the desk and helping contractors with their orders. This is apparently a sales job with unreachable sales goals.

I applied online. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (San Antonio, TX)
Interview
You meet with HR and the manger of the department. Sometimes the store manger will be there. Pretty easy interview if you’ve been working at Lowe’s previously. If not, you need to know the “Lowe’s” language and about sales.
Ask about previous job history. Ask questions about customer service experience. Ask questions about sales experience. Explain your role and how you would do it. Talk about pay at the end.
