I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Calgary, AB) in Nov 2012
Interview
Had a really promising phone interview with lovely woman out East. She showed and conveyed her interest, even though she was reading stock questions. I was very nervous as I had not interviewed in quite some time (as I sold a business and have been self employed since), yet she was understanding and supportive. We discussed my resume which she indicated was very good and I felt extremely confident going into the interview with the HR Manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The HR Manager was frustrated with me &/or my answer for the best approach to deal with a staff member who is potentially missing an up-sell as they check out the customer. I said it depends on the relationship and opportunity to involve yourself, without taking over and perhaps demotivating your staff. Worst case, I would discuss with said staff member after the customer was happily dealt with. She has the Store Manager come speak to me as I filled out the references form, which I felt went well and took as a positive sign.
The interview process was very average to their competitors. They ask 4-6 questions and most are about managing a team and the environment you would expect to work in. I.E warehouse work and safety. Keep these things in mind when going into the interview.
