Application
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Menards in May 2008

Sat down 1:1 with the HR director, she asked me some past work experience questions and if I was knowledgable about any departments that they had in the store. Then I interviewed was interviewed by a department manager the same day about the same questions.

Question 1
What department do you feel you are most knowledgable in?
Very easy, simple questions that they ask. Usually with the general manager and maybe with the department head. Pretty quick to getting back for the interview process and offering the position.
The interview was in person and lasted about 45 minutes. A GM will sit in on the interview with you and ask additional questions (usually more in depth, especially if there is an area of concern in your application or answers). There are about two pages of questions but most are pretty standard.

Question 1
They will first ask the standard tell me about yourself but their main and biggest question was "What do you offer that stands out more than our other applicants for this position. What can you offer us that others cant?"
