The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Hackettstown, NJ) in Mar 2012
Interview
I applied online after seeing banners in the stores promoting employment opportunities. One day after I applied I received a message telling me to call a 1-866-xxx-xxxx number. I called and was directed to a staffing center associate who asked me 3 interview type questions and then said I may be hearing from them. One week later I received another phone message to call and was prompted to schedule an interview with extremely limited time slots.
I arrived for the interview as scheduled, but the hiring manager was busy with other applicants so another departmental floor manager took control and interviewed me. He asked me one question and said I answered all the questions he was supposed to ask. We spent more than an hour talking about our past experiences in project management. I presume my interview experience was not typical.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked about my previous experience as an assistant project manager. I was told my answer to that question answered all the standardized answers. The we spent more than an hour going over our past project experiences.
20-minute interview, asked scenario-based questions and experiences with customer service. The interview had a video call component and an in-person interview. The interview had questions about comfort with learning new programs and asked about availability.
it was short and it was simple very quick and they hired me on the spot probably due to needing people and being short staffed, but the staff was nice and polite they did also send me an email before hand to schedule my interview

They asked several questions but due to the fact that I was so over qualified...it was 'how soon can you start".
