I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Indianapolis, IN) in Sept 2013
Interview
Was asked standard questions that are required by their corporate. Was then asked additional questions by store manager and their HR manager. I then was interviewed by the supervisor over my area. Was asked basic questions on second interview. I was not taken off guard by any questions, all seemed to be pretty standard for retail sales.

So easy that you just need to be a normal person to get hired, they really just look for someone who can help out every customer and who can do a little bit of manual labor. you should be hired asap
