The interview process was good. The people were nice, asked your typical questions. Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? What is your past experience (related to the job).
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Home Depot in Feb 2010
Interview
This is really for a cashier position.
Simply be prepared to list ways in which you've provided great customer service, at previous jobs or volunteer position. Let them know you will put the customer "first" and that you work better as a team.
It took a week to hear back after the online application.
In my case, It was my first job so I used the time I sold candy for a school program as a reference for service.
