Interview
There is a lot to the process of becoming promoted to an Assistant Manager at Home Depot. Make sure you know your business and are comfortable because the process will take a while. It is critical that you know how to interview and understand basic college level business concepts. Bring your A game and dress for success.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you handle a situation that might require you to answer a customer's question, answer your phone that is ringing at the same time, and respond to a page from your manager that wants you to call them back at a certain extension.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Home Depot in Aug 2011
Interview
I applied online at the careers website, and got an email stating I would recieve a phone interview. The phone interview was short, asked why I wanted to work there and why I applied for the position I did, and then gave a salary and asked if I was okay with it, and I said yes. Just say you love the environment and give some phony boloney reason for the position, don't say "Cuz it was available" or "Cuz I need a job", say something along the lines of "I think I would be a perfect fit given my skill set". I was told to go to a store interview a week later, I was given a few panel questions, then given a brief interview with the store manager, who asked about me, who I am, why I feel I belong there, was very friendly. I was offered the job on the spot, completed a drug test and waited for an orientation call.
