I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Carrollton, GA) in Mar 2011
Interview
I applied at the in-store kiosk. 2 days later i got an email stating they were interested and would be calling me, but that I could call if I didn't want to wait, and it gave a number. I called and did an inital phone screening/interview. It was a automated person at first, and then I was transferred to a real person, where they proceeded to ask basic interview questions (mostly about customer service). Then at the end of that, the person says I have an interview at the local store i had applied at. The interview consists of a series of questions and the interviewer writes down what you say. If you score high, they call you back for a second interview to propose a job offer. This particular store seemed very unorganized, but it could possibly be because they were trying to hire so many people at one time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time where you started a project that ended up being harder than you had expected and how you finished it.
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".
