I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Menards (Plainfield, IL) in Aug 2011
Interview
Very laid-back and you don't have to wear a suit (unless you're wanting a higher up position). They brought me in the back and we talked some and watched a couple training videos, while i filled out some worksheets. Before I could come back for training i had to go take a drug test at a testing facility. And then from there I was able to complete my training, which consisted of using the cash register properly and made sure you were able to look up items and locate them if needed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us a little bit about your pervious work experience?
Basic retail job interview. Selective process especially for the location. Best to know someone if you are looking for a part time job. High school student at the time. Pay was good.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Menards (Coon Rapids, MN) in May 2025
Interview
Walked in and headed towards the back of the building and they asked me very simple HR questions that were easy to answer. Typically regarding to how much experience you have in retail and how you work in a team.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Menards in Apr 2025
Interview
Just a standard interview, you do have to take a survey about drugs, stealing, and alcohol. Questions were mostly about yourself and how you can benefit the company. Overall very fast, I was in and out in 15 minutes.
