I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2013
Interview
Applied online, was called within a few days of applying for a phone interview. I was asked a few very generic interview questions and then was scheduled a in-person interview at my local store. My interviewer was very welcoming and asked questions about my past experiences relating to the job and how I would/have acted in certain situations in the past. I was offered the job on the spot and accepted, pending a background/urine test. It took like 2-3 weeks for them to call to set up a orientation... I had called a couple of times wondering why it had been taking so long and they had told me they were waiting for the urine test.. I guess the wait is common in the company though.. Many others I work with had the same long wait.

Interview
I applied online. The online application asks you basic stuff in addition to questions where it asks you how you would respond to certain situations. If you do it correctly, someone from Home Depot will call you and ask you some follow up questions about past experiences/qualifications. If you pass that, they'll call you in for an interview, which was fairly easy. They give you basic interview questions and scenarios. Overall, I think it's pretty easy to get hired.
