How you answer this question will help your interviewer determine whether you are trying to land a job anywhere and are playing the numbers game or if you have identified what Home Depot uniquely has to offer. Share what drew you to apply for this job in the first place, whether it is being surrounded by tools, liking the smell of lumber, or helping others with their DIY projects. Many positions in their company are described as "a lifelong career or starting point to move throughout the company. Whether you are looking for the next step or you just want to try something new, there are multiple ways to grow."
