I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Santa Ana, CA) in Sep 2025
Interview
The interview process was great—nice and friendly. However, I misread the email and showed up at 2 PM for the interview when it was actually scheduled for 9 AM. I somehow thought it was at 2 PM because I selected the time and date, and on that particular day, I had a criminal justice exam at school starting at 9:15 AM.
