I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement in Apr 2011
Interview
Applied for several jobs at Lowes on March 30th. Was offer an interview on April 1st. Consisted of interviews with hiring personnel and Asst. Store Manager. It was real pleasent and calm. Looking @ information on this site really help w/some of the questions they asked me like: Why do u want to work here, what is customer service to u, etc. I made sure tohave an understanding of their mission statement, before I got there and also to keep using the word "customer Service" when answering the questions. Always made eye contact and showed patience because they do get stopped a lot and have to answer pagers and phones from being busy.
Was told after interview that I would be contacted, once they did a background check and was still interested. Took about 10 days and was contacted to come in for a drug test and was offer position of delivery. Will offer opinion on workplace when I've had orientation this week.

Question 1
Name a situation where you gave bad information and how u corrected them?
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.

Question 1
When was a time that you've gone above and beyond for a customer?
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.
