Put everyone interviewing for the job in the same room for testing. Tests were ok but pretty irrelevant to the position applied for.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
Interview process started with a test of retail knowledge - operations, profit & loss, balance sheets,customer service related questions. Test took 3 hours. Next was an interview with the district manager and human resourse manager. Questions asked were what if questions and tell me about a time when questions. All of which leads to the conclusion that whoever is the best at story telling gets the job. This was proven to be true when the subsequent batch of new assistant managers hit the stores. An awful lot of people very full of themselves and how great they are. Didn't matter if they knew anything as long as they could talk like they do. Which doesn't help associates or customers one bit.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Work required a minimum of 55 hours a week, for a salary that was within $10,000 of what I do now. I like having a life and this job would allow no time for me and my family. The commute would have tripled. I did not feel I was ready for the job.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Cincinnati, OH (took 1 week)
I was already working for Depot when I was asked to take the RMA. The RMA consisted of 3 written tests and one panel interview. The three written test were business acumen, personality test, and customer service test. Most questions had 4-5 possible answers and the best answer equals the highest possible points. Interview questions are your standard script questioning. "Name a time when you had to perform multiple tasks, How did you do" , or "Tell us about a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer" etc. After passing the RMA it was just a matter of waiting for a position to open. Once there was an open position, I had to go for a "Fit" interview where I interviewed with the Store Manager and District Human Resource Manager. No big deal with this interview, relaxed but still scripted. Then just had to wait about a week for a call back, after the offer I asked for some time and they gave me a day to decide.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 1 week)
As always with Home Depot, need to do background checks, tests and interviews. All went well for me, but the job offer was pathetic and administered by a Regional HR Asst that had no authority. It was a take it or leave it attitude.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The pay was below the bottom of the Glassdoor salary range, in spite of work experience and test scores that should have put me at the top of the range.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took a day)
There is a lot to the process of becoming promoted to an Assistant Manager at Home Depot. Make sure you know your business and are comfortable because the process will take a while. It is critical that you know how to interview and understand basic college level business concepts. Bring your A game and dress for success.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 7 weeks)
Week One:
Recruiter contact and scheduled phone interview.
Phone interview lasted about 20 minutes, leadership and p&l type questions
My recruiter had a strong understanding of retail, she wasn't just reading questions and looking for generic responses. Recruiter loved my knowledge and scheduled me for tests and an interview amongst my competition.
Week Two
A few days prior to my assessment; I was required to visit a store and note observations, following an email guide.
I went to the store took tests interviewed, and met some of my competition:
Test were on
P&L/Gross Margin/store balance sheets.
Customer Service
Leadership
After the tests....
I did a behavioral interview with an SM. These consist of describing actions that you have taken to resolve issues etc. (professional examples are best but use school and life examples if you're low on experience)
Next day my recruiter called to let me know that they were impressed and wanted to take the next step.
A few weeks later;
Another, longer behavioral session with two SM's.
Two days later formal offer........
Drug Screen, Background, Hire Packet....done
I'm excited and ready to get started.
Negotiation Details
This website gave me an idea of what I should ask for and I talked to my recruiter to confirm my estimate.
Don't forget that the recruiter is there to help you, so ask questions!!!!!!!
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.
