Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
Waste of time I went to the interview around 8pm ask the same questions I seen here such as how would you deal with a displeased customer,tell me about a project you completed etc etc They sent me an email that "I don't that is a strong match with your qualifications at this time" timed at 6am which means they did'nt even do he background check or checked reference's just threw my stuff away.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
I am currently going through the interview process. Applying online is not enough. You must take a resume in and then follow up with a phone call. Sometimes there are so many applications online that unless you have made personal contact yours will not be looked at.
I did all of the above and did receive a call. The first part of the interview is a phone interview. If you get past that you are brought in to meet with the Department Superviser... if that goes well you will then get a background check and then finally a meeting with the store manager wher your final interview and negotiation takes place.I am at that stage now.

First got a call from Human Resources, they asked me a number of general questions , which narrowed down which department would be best for me. Passing that phone in interview got me a 1-1 interview two days later with the departments manager. After that I was notified that I'd be hired and started a week later.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Windsor, ON (Canada) (took 2 days)
They asked some crazy questions which to answer you would have to know the companies policys. Also, while I was being interviewed by two people, another employee came in and started using the copy machine while I was being interviewed, which was very distracting.

Advice to other interview candidates
dress appropiate--just because its a home improvement store does not mean to dress down for the interview-----I have been in job fairs helping candidates with applications, where to go, etc.
