Quite simple, you complete an application online and come in for a day of shadowing at the store. You will discuss a few interview questions with a manager and then they will give you a tour of the store.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a scenario in which you had to solve a problem in a group setting
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot in Apr 2012
Interview
I met with the Ops manager and Front End manager for a group interview. They were very organized, thorough and upfront about the process and the position. Initially I interviewed on the phone with a representative in Atlanta. She prepared notes for the two people I spoke with so that had more information than just my application. They asked me 6 basic questions, conferred with each other outside of the interview room and asked me three more follow-up questions. They were very upfront and had informed me that some very qualified internal applicants were being considered for the position. When they finally told me that they had selected their internal candidate, they complimented me on my presentation and offered to re-submit my application for other area stores to consider. They also suggested that I apply for other positions which better accommodated my skill set. All in all, it was a very good experience and I learned a lot!

They also asked situational questions to see how I would respond to customer concerns or team issues. The whole process was clear, professional, and supportive.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Gloucester Courthouse, VA) in Sept 2024
Interview
My interviewer asked basic questions, which were nothing too difficult. They are looking for how you handled past situations and want more than just one or two sentences, try to tell them the story from start to end with details but at the same time make sure you are not talking about the same story for 2+ minutes.
