Question 8 of 35

Where do you see yourself within the Home Depot organization in two years?

An interviewer is looking for someone who is committed for the next year or two. Whether you're a candidate looking to grow within the company or a college student looking for a part-time job and don't see an in-store retail position as a long-term career move, it's important to share your reasons for pursuing this opportunity with transparency. "Our whole business is based on improvement, whether it's helping a customer renovate a space or challenging our own people to be their best. No matter where people are in their careers, they have room to move up and explore new opportunities with us."

      How to Answer

      Ideally, your interviewer wants to hire those with employee retention in mind. But, if you embody their culture and values, have a strong work ethic, are honest, and exhibit integrity, you could end up at the front of the pack. So, describe your passion for this opportunity and what you like about the company. Discuss your career plans and goals and whether those fit with what Home Depot has to offer. The goal is to set clear and realistic expectations, with an openness to exploring other options in the future.

      "My two-year plan is to join your organization and earn my way into a floor manager position. I have a great deal of experience with team management, customer dispute, and inventory. I believe you will see me well-suited for a management role in a short amount of time."
