I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot in Apr 2012
Interview
I met with the Ops manager and Front End manager for a group interview. They were very organized, thorough and upfront about the process and the position. Initially I interviewed on the phone with a representative in Atlanta. She prepared notes for the two people I spoke with so that had more information than just my application. They asked me 6 basic questions, conferred with each other outside of the interview room and asked me three more follow-up questions. They were very upfront and had informed me that some very qualified internal applicants were being considered for the position. When they finally told me that they had selected their internal candidate, they complimented me on my presentation and offered to re-submit my application for other area stores to consider. They also suggested that I apply for other positions which better accommodated my skill set. All in all, it was a very good experience and I learned a lot!
