      Sales Associate Interview

      Feb 16, 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at The Home Depot

      Interview

      Home Depot uses a weird computer/telephone process at first, to knock out as many candidates as possible. Then, months later, you might get a person on the phone from Atlanta, similarly knocking out candidates. Weeks later, you get called in for an in-person interview. Weeks later, you get called in for a "second interview" where you will get the offer. I was kept waiting for over an hour for my second interview with the Store Manager. I had to leave to go to a doctor's appointment. Another interview was scheduled, and once again, the guy kept me waiting for over an hour.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They use completely stock, predictable questions for the first interview. The first interview will be by an Assistant Store Manager. These guys are generally not too bright, so they give them exact questions to read off of a piece of paper, and the ASM just summarizes and records your answers into a form. Go to any website with stock interview questions, and practice reasonable answers to the most common and mundane questions. You'll be fine.

      Interview

      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

      Question 1

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