I applied in-person. I interviewed at The Home Depot
Interview
Short and to the point. My interview was rather unconventional. I met the manager in the front entrance. She asked quickly what experiance I had in anything that related to Home Depot. I told her that I had a little experience with selling gardening items like plants and fertilizer. She said great come in Monday at 8 am. Things have changed a lot since those times though.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (South Florida, FL)
Interview
First step was a short phone interview, then they scheduled an interview a few days later at the local store. The Assistant Manager and another member of the management team interviewed me. The AM asked me to tell him about myself and why I wanted to work at the Home Depot. Then they asked me 6 questions, 3 about cashiering and 3 others were for a sales associate position. They were both very nice and easygoing and I felt really comfortable.
I didn't get a call back for about a month when they asked me if I was still interested in working at the Home Depot, I said yes and scheduled an interview with the store manager.
The manager asked me what I knew about the Home Depot as a company and what would make me a good cashier. Then he told me I was pretty much unofficially hired, but I just needed to pass my drug test and background check. A week later I did and was asked to come in that same morning to sign all the paperwork.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For me it was "tell me about a time when a costumer was upset and how you solved the problem" because I hadn't been able to solve the problem for that guest at a previous job.
