I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Lufkin, TX) in Jun 2015
Interview
The HR manager was warm and welcoming as I arrived precisely at 10:00 AM. As I entered she greeted me and gave me a sheet summarizing the job duties and responsibilities. After spending 2-3 minutes looking over the sheets I handed them back and she inquired about myself and I gave her a quick biography. After this she began asking the interview questions from a sheet. After answering each question the interview concluded with a drug screen and affirmation that a background test will be conducted.

Question 1
Describe a time when you had to explain something difficult to someone
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.
