The Home Depot interview questions

In the initial interview, I was asked to compare The Home Depot with Lowes. I thought my answer would ruin my chance to work for HD, but instead they valued my honesty and I got the job. I said Lowes was cleaner, brighter lit, and more inviting. I said it was my impression that Lowes was geared more toward women and designers while Home Depot was focused more on contractors and didn't feel the need to be as neat and clean. They do focus very much on customer service with lots of questions about how I would handle various situations with customers including how I would deal with fellow employees if I saw them stealing or treating customers improperly.

Onsite interview with HR and department manager. Standard old school interview reviewing details from my resume and asking superficial questions about my background. They appeared to review my resume just moments before I arrived or during the interview. In their defense, the economy was terrible and I was substantially over qualified for a part time position.
