The Highs and Lowe’s of Starting this Career
There’s really no downside to working here, i just wanted an excuse to use that pun. So, let’s talk about the way this company garners new talent. They didn’t get to 160,000 employees and 1,700+ locations by just picking up any random person from off the street after all.
There are opportunities for seasonal, part and full-time positions to meet the needs of any job seekers. There are two sections of the Lowe’s hiring process:
1. The Interview
The first step is a classic one-on-one job interview. During this you will be answering questions posed to you by the store manager of the location you wish to work at. It will start with some basic questions, then move into more complex ones. You’ll want to be on your toes, so be sure to get a good night’s sleep prior to the interview and practice with some of our example questions below.
2. The Details
Once you’ve passed the interview, the next step is to start the administrative and legal aspects of being hired. This includes background checks, personality evaluations, drug tests, and a physical. After all of this, you will have your orientation and move into your new career!
