Lowe's stores nationwide will open their doors to candidates from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Feb. 21 during the company's first National Hiring Day. Candidates interested in a full-time, part-time or seasonal role can visit any of Lowe's 1,700-plus U.S. stores to participate in open interviews and learn more about working at Lowe's.

"Our employees are the heart of our business and make a difference for the customers and communities we serve every day," said Jennifer Weber, Lowe's chief human resources officer.
