I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (North Tustin, CA) in May 2011
Interview
Was well excepted and excellent at all the preliminary screening and telephone interviews (both computere automated and person questions response) . Placed myself in a person to person interview and looked to be doing well, until I noticed the manager was not noting any information on the sheet.
I was told that there was only 3 candidates for 3 jobs and ALL would be contacted. I queried the resource center, left messages for HR. went to the offices again and posted notes. I did not receive the courtesy of a reply ... to this day.

Interview
I applied online for several positions. I recieved an email about a week later staing that they were interested and would call me or I could call them. I called the number and went through an automated q/a period then an actual person asked me a few questions. mostly verifying my info and a few hypotheticals but i dont remember them. I ws then called by the hiring manager for an interview. It went pretty easy. She asked me a few questions that would be normaly ask during any interview then there were about ten structered questions such as name a time when you had to deal with an angry customer etc. about a week or so later i was called to an interview with a regional operations manger and regional Asset Protection manger. regular interview and pretty easy. after a few self describing questions it was suggested that I lean more towards a supervisor position due to my past experience and my goals. They told me that they were going to call the local store manager to find out what openings were available and go from there. That was today. I am eagerly awaiting me next phone call. Update: After a total of six interviews for both asset protection and department supervisor i was finaly offered a part time job at 9.10 an hour. what an insult! i wasted a month and a half of my time and drove to three different stores to be offered a part time job that i didnt apply for. no wonder home depot is going down hill. they hire managers that are clueless. If you apply at the killeen tx store be prepared for a part time job. They look at ful time as a promotion. quickly declined the offer.

Interview
Applied on line, forced to wait a few weeks for any response at all. When called, was asked a few questions based on past experiences and behavioral and aptitude questions. 1:1 interview was quick to the point and relatively efficient. Competent and friendly individuals ran the interviewing process, was not uncomfortable at all. Overall not bad for any reason.
