Home Depot Employment - The 6 Questions Asked of Everyone?

[Outback in Idaho]

Have plans on applying to Home Depot here locally. They have other veterans that work for them, and they seem quite encouraging. Accidentally ran into one of the store managers... he did not have that notorious manager aura about him. He looked like a normal worker bee.

Everyone starts out as a temporary unless they are a plumber or electrician am told. Two employees had also mentioned that you will be contacted by phone, and that they ask the same 6 questions to everyone... only that they cannot remember what those 6 questions were.

  Does anyone know what these 6 questions are? Had searched online and only found the many usual interview questions, but was told that Home Depot asks these 6 questions to every employee - and not found any of those questions, only the mere mention that Home Depot does do it.

I wouldn't sweat it, it's probably things like what's the best way to get ahead, or is there anyone you can't work with, or is there any job you won't do. Standard trick interview questions.



The people you work with are the key. Chances are that if the manager is alright, the employees he hires are OK too.  No guarantees though, always have a resume handy for your next job interview.
