I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (College Place, WA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Four days after the application process I received an email stating that someone would like to speak with me about my application. An hour after the email I received a call from an automated message concerning the application with simple prescreening questions concerning my continuing interest in the position. Afterwards it automatically directed me to a real life representative who also asked me a few questions to ensure I was still interested and prepared for the job they were looking to hiring me for. She asked me three questions, which I passed, and set up a time for an in person interview with one of the four hiring staff a couple days later. Immediately after I hung up I received another email concluding the interview and reminding me of the details of my in person interview, including how I should dress. I have yet to be interviewed in person.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
What experiences and qualifications do you have for this position?
You apply online and call as a follow up. If they want to interview you, they will call and set up an interview. Prior to the in person one you will get a call from a phone agency asking about you and if you can work in the environment. The actual interview is about ten questions.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Fairfield, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
I filled out an application online and about 3 weeks later I was sent an email about being called for a screening. I got the call and after being guided by an automated voice, I spoke to a representative that informed me about all the details concerning the job including location and pay. Once I agreed to this I was asked if it was ok if part of my interview was in Spanish (I had applied to a bilingual position) and then the details of the in-person interview were confirmed.
At the in-person interview I was interviewed first by an employee who asked me very basic questions like, "how would you deal with a difficult customer?," "how do you feel about being the last point of interaction with the customer?" After this, the manager was brought in to interview me and he asked me questions such as, "how would you deal with an unsatisfied customer? What if they were unsatisfied after spending thousands of dollars?" After this part I was told I was hired and I was taken to sign some papers and I was given instructions of where to go for a drug test. The whole process probably took about 20 minutes max.
