The phone interview consisted of a few "how did you handle this situation" questions and some equal opportunity stuff. I was then passed along to an HR person who informed of the HD job fair at the Saratoga, NY store where I would be scheduled for a 1:1 interview. The 1:1 interview also had some "how did you handle.." type questions but also some questions related to home repairs and garden stuff to see if I had any idea at all about the products. I was informed immediately that I was accepted contingent upon a background and drug test. I was given the drug test form and set up for an appointment immediately. After everything was completed I received a phone call from HD to go to the orientation at the store.

An in-person interview was conducted with a single manager who first started explaining his experience with the company and the possibilities available to grow within; then an explanation about the position and any addresses from there. The interview questions were then conducted (approximately 5 questions) and were followed up with your interest in the company via your questions for the manager. Personally, the interview was mostly about conversating with the interviewer and being nice/respectful to the individual. The manager did not seem to care about the answers given; if you do not have relevant experience, positivity and/or your ability to think on your feet with get you through. Also, my interviewer frowned upon my cliche answers to some (be genuine).
