I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Atlanta, GA) in Apr 2011
Interview
I sent my cover letter and CV to the HR person who posted the job on LinkedIn. She emailed me back within 24 hours to set up a phone interview.
The phone interview was about 18 minutes, only about ten of which were her questions for me. She said the VP was on vacation but that she'd get back to me for the scheduling a final on-site interview. I sent a thank-you email the day after. A week passed, and I sent a follow-up. Still no avail. Three weeks later, I sent another follow-up and she said, "thanks for your patience, he's been traveling."
I never received any communications for a decline or feedback. No courtesy or professionalism shown in this process... SO, I am fine with not moving forward with interviews as this kind of business conduct is usually reflective of how companies operate on the whole.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Brooklyn, NY) in Sep 2011
Interview
it starts off with the little online test,then depending on what place or what psoition,they'll give you that
the phone interviiew, i believe was just 2 questions,what are your skills and why you want to work here, (those aren't the exact questions, this was 2 weeks ago, my memory sucks) after that they/ll give u an automated call to schedule a 1 on 1 interview.the questions they asked was, what was my past experience and how to deal with irate (mad) customers. the interviewer seemed to only be paying half attention, i think the 1on1 was actually just a in person job summary.the drug test was a pain in the ass, but thats because i had to go on a saturday.
after 2 weeks, ive gotten no response from them.
