home depot careers

I filled out an application on line once before and i would like too know if it is still active I would request another applicathion form

If i go to work for a Home Depot or a Walmart, companies that push volunteer involvement, would that give you an advantage such as more hours, a promotion? Do volunteer employess get paid to work as volunteers?

I've already applied online to Home Depot through careers.homedepot.com...but it never asks for you to take the little quiz thing (where it's usually about 100+ simple questions as a way to score you on your common sense, how you would react to this and that, etc.) It has been years since I've been to the employment kiosk in-store...but the last time I remember, it had those questions. Did they just do away with the questions part, or do I need to go into the store and take the dumb little test through the kiosk? Is my application even going to be considered without the test, even though it didn't ask for one? The reason I ask is...I current work for an Office Depot (oddly enough, I seem to have some strange unknown happening to work at 'depot' stores) Anyway...you have to fill out a paper application...but if you don't take the "TSD" test, they won't even consider your application at all. Is Home Depot the same way for these online applications? Do I need to take an in-store test?

I have 16 years of sales experience in floor covering. I just wonder if either of these companies would be a good choice to further my career. I worked for a local privately owned flooring store, but their business has decreased consistently over the last 3 years and it was a commission job.

I am almost a senior in college majoring in criminal justice. I have been applying to retail stores (Home Depot, Roundy's, and a few others) for loss prevention positions. I also have applied multiple places for security positions. My problem is I'm not having much luck. Anyone who works in these positions, what are your qualifications? I have no experience in it but I am in school and you have to start somewhere. Someone please enlighten me on whats going on. Im located in Milwaukee, WI if that matters.
