I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Glen Ellyn, IL) in Dec 2009
Interview
I found out about the company from a friend who gave me the name of the Human Resources representative at the location I wanted to work at. I called and the HR representative told me they were hiring in lumber and to come in for an interview. I went in and one of the managers asked me a bunch of job scenario questions about what I have/would do certain situations. Also, asked me a bit about my personality and what I was planning on doing in the future. Then, I was interviewed by the store manager who asked me a bit more about my background and why I wanted to work at Home Depot. Then, he took my information so that he could do a background check and I had to go that day to get a drug test. After a couple days later, I received a call that I had gotten the job and they gave me a date to go to orientation.

Question 1
You see an co-worker not using the proper safety procedure when taking down a stack of lumber. What would you do?
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”.
Online assessment for cognitive skills and thinking prior to interview and simple in person interview that included an offer and necessary onboarding documents to start right away the next week
