I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Latham, NY) in Apr 2014
Interview
Brief quick and straight to the point. They seem very interested in knowing other aspects of your personal life. There is a phone screening process the whole thing usually takes about 5 to 10 days after you do an online application and then they set up the interview and the interview takes usually about 15 to 30 minutes no more than that.
The interview process was smooth, once you received an interview, you speak to a member of the staff, and once completed if they’re interested, you’ll receive a drug test. Once you pass you should have a job offer.

Describe a time at work when you felt overwhelmed, how did you overcome the situation.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Flower Mound, TX) in Apr 2017
Interview
Job specific questions, mostly all situational questions. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Two interviews one with assistant manager. Second with Store manager where formal job offer is made. Must have approval and informal offer from first interview.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Bartlett, IL) in Jan 2015
Interview
I arrived on time and had to wait in the employee lounge area while my initial interviewer was busy with another task. Approximately 10 minutes later we went into the manager's office where I was interviewed by who I assume to be an Assistant Manager. The interview consisted of a description of the position for which I was interviewing, a review of my work history, and a series of typical interview questions. The rate of pay for this position varies and the reviewer was not at liberty to discuss those figures with me. For that, I had to speak to the Store Manager.
After the pre-interview, I then met with the Store Manager who gave me additional information about the position as well Home Depot and their goals and expectations. She made a point about Home Depot wanting to hire quality people.
Although no formal offer was made, they seemed interested in hiring me but the hours (8 PM to 5:30 AM) were unappealing as was the rate of pay offered ($11 per hour). The entire interview was conducted with an open door except when I was being quoted the rate of pay. For that, we had to close the door as I assume there are current employees making less in the same position.
My advice to Home Depot? If you want to attract quality people, you need to offer quality compensation.
