The manager in charge of interviewing follows more modern interview methods. He didn't even want my resume. He was interested in my previous work history but more about my personality and how well I work with customers...even though the position I applied for was shipping/receiving for overnights. Questions he asked:
Why do you want to work for Lowe's?
If I was your supervisor, what would you want from me?
How will you get to work?
What is your wage expectation?
The rest of the interview was pretty much just engaging in coversation...just BS'ing with the guy.
Since I was applying for an overnight position there was only 1 interview. While I was waiting for the interview to start one of the customer service staff asked if this was my first interview...I said yes. For day time positions I believe there is more than 1 interview needed before a job offer is granted.
He did ask if the night shift manager had my references so they do do a background check. He also asked if I would be willing to give a criminal background check.
I also attended the interview in jeans, and a dress shirt. I wore my winter jacket during the interview and even had my sunglasses over my head. Very lax and I was quite comfortable during the meeting.
