I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Tustin, CA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Applied online. Got an email telling me i would be getting a call. Got a call a day after receiving the Email. Then the guy interviewed me over the phone. After he scheduled me for another in-store interview. Went into my interview it was about 3 minutes long. The next week I got a call to come in for a second interview that was supposed to be with the manager but ended up just getting hired on the spot. She gave me the drug test papers and I took it 2 days later. Waited a week and a half but the drug test place (quest diagnostics) lost my drug test results so I got a call back at that time to take another drug test and i took it a day later. Got a call back two days after to come in to fill out paperwork. Start orientation next week, FINALLY. longest interview to was ever

Interview
The interview process was a friendly and professional experience overall. The managers are nice and accommodating to students at least at this location as I was a current student at Oregon state university and needed to work around a college schedule.
