I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot in Feb 2012
Interview
The phone interview consisted of a few "how did you handle this situation" questions and some equal opportunity stuff. I was then passed along to an HR person who informed of the HD job fair at the Saratoga, NY store where I would be scheduled for a 1:1 interview. The 1:1 interview also had some "how did you handle.." type questions but also some questions related to home repairs and garden stuff to see if I had any idea at all about the products. I was informed immediately that I was accepted contingent upon a background and drug test. I was given the drug test form and set up for an appointment immediately. After everything was completed I received a phone call from HD to go to the orientation at the store.

The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at The Home Depot in Feb 2012
Interview
Very simple...but strange. They barely asked me any questions, did not require a resume, didn't even know much about my past...or let alone ask about previous jobs. Bizarre. But glad they decided to hire me on the spot...only thing was that I had to complete a drug test, which was fine...bit out of the way but easy.

Question 1
She honestly didn't really ask me any questions other than what my interests were and if I were attending school.
