I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Bellingham, WA) in Apr 2013
Interview
For this position I did not have a formal interview. I was literally the only Spanish speaking associate that interviewed and it was required to be bilingual! Although, they had to follow store procedures (which it seems they rarely do) and interview three people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were no real difficult or unexpected questions in my first interview with Home Depot or any of the others following. Common sense questions.
