I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Charlotte, NC) in Mar 2010
Interview
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If I saw a fellow employee stealing from the company, how would I handle it?
20-minute interview, asked scenario-based questions and experiences with customer service. The interview had a video call component and an in-person interview. The interview had questions about comfort with learning new programs and asked about availability.
it was short and it was simple very quick and they hired me on the spot probably due to needing people and being short staffed, but the staff was nice and polite they did also send me an email before hand to schedule my interview
