Interviewed Feb 2012 in Linden, NJ (took a day)
Well It was the store manager, cashier manager , head cashier , and some other people. it was a total of four people interviewing me . They asked me about myself , i was so nervous , and ask me why should i pick you to work for home depot. It was such a relax atmosphere ,and they were joking a a lot. Well let me tell you this don't answer the question like a robot cause even the store manager loved that i did not do that. Just be your self. I got offered a position and now I'm just waiting to take a drug test i have 24 hours to do it, and just a background check and i can start my training . I'm so excited!!!

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Cincinnati, OH (took 5 days)
The interviewing process was slightly annoying being that you have to take a pre-screening phone interview that just reviews everything you put on your application. Once you make it to the one on one it is very relaxed and easy. It mainly consists of talking about your history in retail and what hours you would like to work.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in McKinney, TX (took 5 days)
Filled out an application on Sunday. Received a phone interview call on Monday (all automated from their Georgia call center). Within 5 minutes of hanging up from the phone interview I got an automated call saying that they wanted to set up an in store interview. Was transferred on the automated call to an automated scheduler which told me that they had no interview dates available yet. I was then transferred to an operator who also said the same thing. I was told that they would call or email me when they had dates in their system. By Wednesday I hadn't heard anything so I decided to call back just to make sure I wasn't being left in the dark, since it was them who initiated the in person interview scheduling. Sure enough they had dates available for the following Monday. I scheduled a morning interview. I showed up for my interview and was escorted back with two other candidates for other positions. I was interviewed by the assistant store manager and he was assisted by a department lead supervisor who took all of the notes. The questions were all from an interview questionaire. They were really nice and friendly. I was just myself with them. Most of the questions were customer service based and basically the customer always comes first. I answered all the questions except the one about describing something about my job that I would not enjoy doing everyday. I paused and said I wasn't sure. They told me it was okay not to have an answer. I was offered a job on the spot and then had to complete a drug screen and background check. I am waiting to start my orientation.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
No negotiation. They offered one rate and it was take it or leave it. Althought it was a part time temp position and they said that they usually hire all of their temps if they don't leave. I am planning on asking for a higher rate if I get to that point. After they know my abilities, etc.
