The interview with the store manager and HR managers was strictly based on questions about tell me about a time when. Those kinds of questions may be helpful when it comes to interviewing a manager that doesn't have a lot of management expertise yet. I'm 43 years old and have been in retail for 27 years and have been a retail manager at a high level for the last 15 years and you know how many questions I was asked about my background? None. I have since accept another offer for a store manager position with another retailer. It would have been nice if Lowes based there hiring decisions based on a conversation between the hiring managers and the candidates actual background instead of using pre scripted interview questions that are designed so that the interview only lasts a certain amount of minutes and really don't focus on the candidates and there background and experiences. Had they actually would have focused on my background they probably would have realized I would have been a great fit for Lowes.
