I applied online. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Paramus, NJ) in Sep 2018
Interview
Non-existent. I was invited to come in for an in-person interview after completing an online application and answering questions. I scheduled interview and received 3 (THREE) emails reminding me of my appointment time. When I checked in at the special service desk, no one knew where to send me. The person I was supposed to interview with wasn't there- they had gone out for breakfast with the team! Ok- so wandered around the store with a HD employee who was asking other associates what to do with me. No one offered to call the manager. I sat in a back room for 1/2 hour, then left. This was a week ago and to date, no one even bothered to contact me to apologize or even reschedule. Rude and unprofessional. Waste of time.

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.
