the company seemed eager to take me on. the competency field test was short but relevent to the position. unfortunatly cause of the economy they were unable to hire me.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What do you think this position intitles? What type of work do you think you'll be doing if hired?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2012
Interview
apply online with a very detailed questionarre get called by someone from HR. set up in store interview with a store manager. go to interview and wait for an hour or more while the manager takes a break. answer questions that a third graded could articulate. urinate in a cup wait a week. go into store find out your application has been misfiled, wait another hour until they find your app. walk around the store and start the next day.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Cape Coral, FL) in Mar 2012
Interview
Filled out application on company website. Was called by retail staffing and phone interviewed with standard five questions most retail companies are using now about describing times when you helped customers in other jobs and people in your life and solutions you came up with. (be ready for that). Had interview #1 in store with mid level supervisors / leads (2) with same standard 5 question robot quiz, then had interview #2 with store manager days later who asked my goals in the next 5 years, and further, why did I want to work for Home Depot, etc. Took drug test and had to call repeatedly though to get orientation/hire date which took about 2 weeks to get. Overall a fairly decent experience. The people there (non-management) seem miserable, but low pay retail and scheduling that revolves around how much your dept. sales vs. how many hours you get to work is to be expected with a so-so attitude about working there I guess. I'm just happy to have been picked to have a job and a chance though and will be happy as such.

Question 1
Describe a time when you solved a problem with a customer or family member? I think this was the question almost...
More questions similar to question #1, just worded differently. Alot of companies are doing this standardized test, so once you do it, it will be redundant.
