I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Denver, CO) in Apr 2013
Interview
I filled out an application online then called the store a few days later to see if I'd be able to schedule an interview. The HR Supervisor was very friendly and scheduled me for an interview the next day. I went in, she asked me the standard interview questions (previous job experience, tell me about yourself, etc.) then told me what the starting pay would be, the hours I'd be working, so on and so forth. I was instructed to take a drug test and submit consent for a background check and that was that. The process took longer than average because I was not not notified right away (my own fault, phone problems) when my background and drug tests came back clear but despite that, it was quick. I came back to the store the day after I spoke to her and started orientation/training.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2012
Interview
I applied online and was called for a phone interview. Once I passed the phone interview I was invited for a store interview. I originally interviewed for a different position but during the interview I was given the opportunity for my current position. After the second interview I was invited back for a third interview with the store manager. I went into this interview thinking I would be asked more questions, but it was more about small talk and the manager hired me on the spot. The third interview took less than five minutes. I was relieved and shocked at the fact that I didn't have to wait yet another week to hear results, but also that I was hired in less than five minutes.
