I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Brooklyn, NY) in Sep 2011
Interview
it starts off with the little online test,then depending on what place or what psoition,they'll give you that
the phone interviiew, i believe was just 2 questions,what are your skills and why you want to work here, (those aren't the exact questions, this was 2 weeks ago, my memory sucks) after that they/ll give u an automated call to schedule a 1 on 1 interview.the questions they asked was, what was my past experience and how to deal with irate (mad) customers. the interviewer seemed to only be paying half attention, i think the 1on1 was actually just a in person job summary.the drug test was a pain in the ass, but thats because i had to go on a saturday.
after 2 weeks, ive gotten no response from them.

I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Harlingen, TX) in Jun 2010
Interview
Received a call from Atlanta about 3 weeks after applying online. A phone interview of about 3 questions was conducted without notice. Referred my interview schedule to the Harlingen Home Depot, which was about three days after the phone interview.
The one-on-one interview was rather informal; I was interviewed by the operations manager. He read about 10 questions from a script, with questions that ask you to recall instances in past work, volunteer, and education experiences that display work ethics, strengths, and weaknesses pertinent to the questions. Then you play a sales associate in a role-playing scenario where the interviewer is a customer. He asked about making a doghouse. The operations manager acted informally.
At the end of the interview, I was told there was a new hiring system that The Home Depot had just adopted, and that they weren't sure when I would be called, and that I probably would be called from Atlanta headquarters. I haven't been called since; it has been 5 days.

Question 1
Interviewer acting as customer: "Hello, I am frustrated with my dog. He runs around in puddles of mud and comes in and creates a big mess all over the carpet. I don't know what to do with him anymore. I'm frustrated. Can you help me?"
