I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Calgary, AB) in Sep 2009
Interview
Applied in person in store and application was promptly taken to manager's office. Got a call a day or so later from the location and spoke to a department manager.
Very informal interview- answered behavioral questions like
1. Would you report a theft by an employee? etc etc
Also made sure I said that you ask relevant questions to customers. That the manager seemed to like,
After that, the next day I spoke to the store manager and an offer was made
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
nothing difficult to be honest. very easy. great place to work. Long hours- 12 hour shifts but generous breaks and $14 starting is good too.
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

Question 1
They asked several questions but due to the fact that I was so over qualified...it was 'how soon can you start".
