I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Fort Worth, TX) in Feb 2017
Interview
The process was very streamlined. You fill out your information on the Home Depot website for the job you're applying for. If selected to go forward, then you will be asked to complete a quick assessment that takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. The hiring party will then decide rather or not to move forward with an interview.
If selected for an interview, you will receive an email message asking you to call a number and answer some brief questions to further qualify the applicant before it's determined an in-face interview will be scheduled. If decided you qualify for in-face interview, it will be scheduled at this time.
he interviewer is really pleasant and thorough. The interviewer will walk you thru the store so you get a hands on demonstration of the actually job duties you would perform if hired.

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.
