Applied online the same day the job was made public and was contacted by the regional HR manager two weeks later. The initial application included a standard Lowe's personality test. No phone screening required prior to face-to-face interview. Met with RHRM and store manager the following week for a panel interview which consisted of 10-15 behavioral questions. I was very impressed by the level of professionalism of both employees. Their commentary about the specific problems/opportunities at this particular store (and the overall company's corporate culture) was invaluable in establishing a true-to-life picture of what I would be stepping in to. I came away from the interview wanting to work there even more than when I had put in my application.
