The Home Depot interview questions

I was called by the HR dept and given a basic phone interview. Interviewer was cheery, interested and helpful. I had an advantage in getting the interview since I had been a vendor's rep in the store (underpaid but easy to get job) and many employees remembered me and how successful and helpful I was overall. So I called that Asst mgr to say Hi and tell him I had applied and he looked me up on the list and gave me an interview.

They called me and asked me about 5 questions over the phone. The call was from corporate. I was also interviewed by one of my managers for the position and they ask a few questions and then you do a scenario with your manager. The scenario was you are a sales associate and your manger is the customer. The customer came in the other day and could not find any help, so he is now in the store for the second time. He is a little frustrated about the help he is not finding. He needs help building a dog house and you have to sell him everything he needs. I said screws instead of nails because then you can sell him a drill too. Then of course the wood and everything else. In a nutshell they want to see that you can sell the whole project and not just one item and satisfy the customer.
