I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Home Depot (McKinney, TX) in Feb 2014
Interview
First of all, the HR department at this location (west McKinney) is extremely disorganized. They have acted unaware, twice, that I even had an interview. I set up an interview a second time, many weeks later, for another position due to the fact that the first time around they informed me the position I applied for was no longer available. Then it happened again today. The position I was informed was available and I went to interview for, was not available. Unbelievable. Again, this location is VERY disorganized in their HR dept. and communication is lacking. I am a smart guy, educated and understand the dynamics of dealing with people in HR but this is too much. Have spent thousands of dollars their over the past 5 years as a customer, but that train is coming to the end of the track if this is how they treat you as a potential employee. Not to mention, you get a really bad attitude but that is secondary to the miscommunication.

Question 1
Asked me if I was experienced in the department I thought I was interviewing for and then after I answered more or less yes, told me it was no longer available! Unbelievable.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Keene, NH) in Feb 2013
Interview
I received an email saying I would be receiving a phone call for a brief phone interview. I was expecting maybe the next day or so but I actually got the call within an hour or so. It is automated at first and asks if it was not a good time. If you are busy take say you want them to call back because I just this time was fine when I was walking around with friends no thinking it would be as long and in depth as it was described. They ask you a series of questions along the lines of describe a situation when... You want to make sure you speak slowly because the person on the phone is typing it all while you're talking to them so you want to make sure they don't miss anything. They then schedule you an in store interview. The job title they interviewed me for in person was different than what they told me on the phone, but it didn't matter to me. You go into a back office with one of the managers and they ask you pretty much the exact same questions the person on the phone did. The standard what would you do in this situation, what are your strengths and weaknesses. The in store interview was only about 15-20 min and the phone was maybe 30 min because of all the automated stuff before you got the real perosn

I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Cincinnati, OH) in Jun 2011
Interview
I worked as a cashier beforehand so my interview process was a simple role playing followed by questions.

Question 1
The role play was hardest for me because in the heat of an altercation you never know what do or say but I know Home Depot values professionalism and taking care of the customer so of course those values must be repressented.
