The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Apple Valley, CA) in Apr 2009
Interview
I applied for the position and was called the next day. I was lucky. From talking with other associates, they had to wait longer sometimes up to four months. I interviewed with the operations manager who said they were interviewing applicants over the next two weeks and I would know within three weeks. I got a call the next to come back for a second interview with the Store Manager. He hired me and sent me to take a drug test.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Home Depot (West Hollywood, CA) in Aug 2010
Interview
My interview was scheduled for 11am, I arrived 20 min early. They did't see me till about 12pm.
I waited in the hallway, next to the KRONOS clock where the employees clock in/out. And hour + waiting is a bit time to wait, there is a lot of stuff to read and look at on the walls but try not to wander off (it will look bad) so you can look at it and keep you busy while you wait.
Dress up because first impressions for this Entry level job is very important!
Bring 2-3 Additional Resumes "with" your references and maybe a cover letter.
While in the interview, DON'T SLOUCH, Say "Umm", Don't fiddle with your fingers or tap your feet.
Even though there are paying entry level money, they are watching the way you handle yourself.
And most importantly of all....Be yourself!!!!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What would your previous manager say about you if I called them right now?
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Atlanta, GA) in Sep 2010
Interview
very basic interview format - 1st is a phone screen, the 2nd consists of a very easy interview where the person just reads a series of behavioral questions from the packet. Very disappointed because the process seems geared towards satisfying HR mandates than finding qualified applicants
