Lowes in Kailua,Kona Hawaii,had a sign saying they were hiring. I called the store and asked to speak to the Human Resource person. After trying to call 3 times, person was either not available or in an orientation meeting. I left my name and phone no. A message came on m email saying that I was not selected. I just wanted to try and get to be interviewed so that I could give a better history of myself and I would be able to give both character and job references. My previous employment does not show my full capabilities and I wanted a chance for an interview,which I feel that I can present my qualifications.
After leaving my phone no.and not getting a call back.I called back and spoke to Christine?,I explained to her about my applying online and was trying to find out the reason for being denied or whatever reason that I was not being considered, she took down my name and number and said she would go online,check on my application and call me right back!. This was in the morning,Friday Nov. 11,2011. Its Monday Nov.14 and no phone call yet. I have applied at Lowes once before and was not given an interview. I shop there often, and have dealt with people who were not as qualified as I am and the knowledge,that I have.
I’ve been in construction for over 25 years and have worked with many different contractors over the years. I’m a very good handyman and have never hired a plumber to do any work at my house. I worked as a general laborer in the Laborers Union, for 13 year,and 12years as a journeyman mason. I have done work in ceramic tile,painting,drywall,some basic carpentry, I am able to install ceiling fans, electrical wall plugs,but no major electrical work. I am applying for a stocking position, and have driven and operated all types of forklifts,including, Gradall. I am 59 years old,in excellent condition,don’t smoke, don’t drink, and will pass any drug test. I am writing this letter, just to try and get a fair shot at this position.

You were probably not selected because of the assessment test/questionaire. It’s not what you should do, it’s what they want to hear; that are the correct answers. Hint: cheat the system…tell them what they want to hear and lie your ass off. So whether or not your qualified for the job, it doesnt matter. If anyone knows the correct answers, they can work at Lowes.
The questionnaire is indeed the problem. Their use of it is set at such a high sensitivity that it’s very easy for a person to flag false-positive (basically you get punished and not hired for being too honest.) Apparently they’re moving away from that testing sometime this year, so you may be able to get hired after the change, but until then its unlikely that a truly honest person will get a job with them, as their system presumes that no one can be that honest, ergo you must be lying.
Along with the gentleman above…I’ve seen people working at Lowes and other stores similar who have less than a clue than I do where anything is. I called a store asking about a certain circular item that was on sale. Went to the store of course no item anywhere. Went to customer service she didn’t even know the damn item I was talking about called a rep from that dept. He went looking all over for what I described. I had to be clear about it Good God. He went looking for it and finally found it. Brought me two when I wanted four. Then I followed him to get more. He said he had to put them on “display” which he hadn’t done. HeLLLOOOOO….if an item is in the cirucular shouldn’t your employees know wtf it is at the very least. After 10 minutes in the store I know more product than your employees. And yet its difficult I hear to get a job in these type places. Nice country…
