I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Home Depot Canada (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Tried for years to get in. Finally a friend, who was working there recommended me. 2 months and 3 interviews later, I got in. Loads of computer training. 3 weeks worth before going on floor. I've heard that the store I am in is no way like the normal Home Depots. Very cold and impersonal.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How will someone my age survive on minimum salary?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Home Depot Canada (Brandon, MB) in Mar 2012
Interview
asked many questions regarding sales. not about the specific department. They didnt care which department i was going to go in, as long as I passed their qualifications to be an associate in the first place. It was mostly ability to get out of a tough situation and deal with troublesome customers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The big question was: if there's some flooring ( you know nothing about flooring) that a customer asks about, how do you get information about the flooring? Every time you give an option about how you would get the information, that option is removed and you have to think of another idea. for example if you said: " I would read the box first." well sorry, there is no box, try again. " I would ask someone." sorry, your the only person in the store. "I would check online." Sorry, internet's down. The idea is to see how many different ways you can work around adversity.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Home Depot Canada (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2012
Interview
I applied online and the system generated a reference number. I received a telephone call in two weeks to fix timing for 1st interview. Preliminary interview was done by a Dept. Supervisor, then 2nd one with Asst. Store Manager 1 week later. The 3rd interview was with Store Manager after another week, when I received the offer letter.

Question 1
No real difficult questions for a confident, experienced manager and good communicator. Questions mostly based on how well one can relate real instances of customer facing, satisfaction / dissatisfaction, situation handling, problem solving and team management experiences.
