one more thing i have a job interview today (sunday) at Home Depot.....so....any pointers that i might need? not sure what position they are going to give me
Ask a couple of questions about the store and whatever specific job positions they have available or want you for.
I recently interviewed with Home Depot myself and the lady commented on how much she liked the questions I had asked. The store will train you for whatever department you are assigned to but go ahead and ask about it anyway, like what kind of things you need to know and how relevant past experience is, like say if you have installed ceiling fans or fixed sinks before.

Meta is right. Make sure that you give good, long answers. They are going to ask you questions like, tell me about a time where you had to work with a customer that had an issue, what was the issue, how did you resolve it and what was the end result. Their last question is always, do you have any questions for us? That's when you go full throttle and sell yourself. Tell them things like home improvement comes natural to you, and that they should just give you your check in the form of a gift card, because you'll just be spending your money there. And something along the lines of you may be interviewing for the department of electrical, but you want to learn every department in the store to help ensure the success of the entire store. Tell them that you are all about going above and beyond the call of duty.
Good luck buddy.

Thanks guys i never thought asking those questions in the end of the interview was so important. Well i found out that the position is Lot Attendant. So im not sure what type of questions i should ask related to this.
That's a damn good question. Tell them that this position would be a fantastic way to get your foot in the door and gain a valuable education while you are pursuing career advancements.

Lot attendant sounds like you'll be spending the majority of your day outside. I wouldn't really worry all to much about kissing ass until you know for sure you're not just a summer hire, instead just try and do as sweet of a job as you can and stay out of trouble, you have officially secured a weekly paycheck man gratz.

Just took my wife and youngest daughter around the farm on my 4wheeler picking blackberries. We didn't get a lot...couple quarts...but they don't care how many we end up with anyway, they just like picking them.

Just got a trial version of a Tether app for BB. It took forever to install it correctly, but I'm on the internet on my computer. Alright, let's hope my bill doesn't shoot up, cause it shouldn't.
Ps, USA USA USA!

Well damn dude, next time stop the 4wheeler so they can get off, it will be much easier to pick berries then. 
+edit+ and why do you keep a farm on your 4wheeler anyway

Won't that just make him look retarded because he doesn't know the difference between asking questions and giving answers?
I wouldn't do any of the ass kissing... it's HOME DEPOT. Lot attendant is the shittiest position they have. Seriously. They can't keep people in those positions. I wouldn't even accept the position unless you're out of other options.
IDK- I've never done any of those "interviewing hints" to get the disgusting amount of jobs I've had...
I just show up, answer their questions, look them directly in the eye when I'm talking, and I get the job. IDK...
Exactly what I do. Works everytime.... even though im only on my second job lol.
Speaking of jobs at Home Depot. My friend wore a full on suit to a Walmart interview a few months ago. I was like bro.. you're retarded. LOL He didnt get hired either. Oh shit, thinking about it still makes me lawl hard.

It's not ass kissing. It's selling yourself. Telling them what you are capable of. It's what I look for when I interview someone. The standard questions are plain and dull. I want to know who I am really hiring. I started at the very bottom myself. I knew I just had to get my foot in the door. Every position I moved up, I had to interview for. I sold myself and bragged about everything I was capable of. My work performance showed them that. Now I'm practically running the place. In just a little over four years, I am an Assistant Store Manager for Lowe's Home Improvement. So whatever you do, don't just show up. Be prepared, bring writing material with you, dress very well, sit up straight, use sir and ma'am, make eye contact, laugh when the situation arises and just make the best overall impression of yourself.
