Hi David. I don't know how far you're willing to travel, but there are 3 Lowe's within a 50 mile radius of you that are now hiring. Have you applied? Your profile on here isn't complete (I suggest completing it and also adding more specific job responsibilities and skills), but based on what your work experience shows, you may have a skill set that Lowe's is looking for. You seem to like Lowe's and working for a place you like is always a bonus. You should try applying and then follow up with a phone call or go in person with a resume to speak with a manager. Good Luck!
