Interview
You apply online and I got an email asking me when I would like to schedule my interview. I went in and met with HR and was offered a job then. You do a drug test and once that clears I was able to come in and start the computer training. The questions were easy and straight forward.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Norfolk, VA) in Aug 2025
Interview
Just asked for your availability. You had to work a minimum of one weekend day with any weekly schedule. There were no questions regarding experience or why you wanted to work there.
Went in for an “interview” and I got asked about basic details and got told they’d do a background check, if it’s clean they’d hire me. They didn’t even ask about resume or experience lol, 1 week later hired and started 2 weeks after the “interview”.
