The Home Depot interview questions

Filled out application on company website. Was called by retail staffing and phone interviewed with standard five questions most retail companies are using now about describing times when you helped customers in other jobs and people in your life and solutions you came up with. (be ready for that). Had interview #1 in store with mid level supervisors / leads (2) with same standard 5 question robot quiz, then had interview #2 with store manager days later who asked my goals in the next 5 years, and further, why did I want to work for Home Depot, etc. Took drug test and had to call repeatedly though to get orientation/hire date which took about 2 weeks to get. Overall a fairly decent experience. The people there (non-management) seem miserable, but low pay retail and scheduling that revolves around how much your dept. sales vs. how many hours you get to work is to be expected with a so-so attitude about working there I guess. I'm just happy to have been picked to have a job and a chance though and will be happy as such.

The initial communication with the company was good. The interview seemed organized and planned. There was only one interview maybe two depends on the position. My perception is that they don't always select the best candidate for the job, that means they have to pay you more . Many unqualified people have landed jobs only so they can underpay the person. Its not unusual for the qualified person to train the unqualified.
