I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (New York, NY) in Nov 2010
Interview
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 [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to lead a group and no one wanted to follow your lead. What did you do to overcome the negative atmosphere.
I interviewed at The Home Depot (Overland Park, KS)
Interview
There was a phone interview followed by an in person interview. I thought it was a smooth process and ended up getting an offer. I would have accepted but ended up accepting at a different company.
Talked to manager, applied online. Did not get the position. I wish to reapply in a early future. They seems very nice and kind group of workers. I would definitely try again.
Had phone interview and then took an assessment. Got an email for an interview but no phone call. Got told position was filled even though the position is still posted.
