Prepare for your interview

The Field-to-SSC Career Mobility Program (CMP) is a 10 -week virtual paid program for our hourly field associates. CMP participants will be assigned to a Store Support Center team such as, but not limited to, Supply Chain, Store Operations, THD Rental, Merchandising, Outside Sales & Services or Human Resources. During the program, participants will learn more about our business and our Store Support Center while working on a pre-assigned project that impacts the business area they are supporting. Candidates are not required to have or be working towards a college degree to apply for this program. Candidates are required to be hourly associates legally permitted to work in the United States, in good standing with the company, and employed by The Home Depot for a minimum of 18 months by the start of the program.

The best way to show an interviewer that you are capable of performing the job well is to give specific examples of when you’ve done something similar in the past. When you demonstrate to the interviewer that you have used your knowledge or skills well, you demonstrate that you are able to use that knowledge or skill again. Use the Interviewing Tips Information Sheet (opens in a new tab) to prepare for a structured interview.
The Career Mobility Program provides associates with the unique opportunity to explore roles in a variety of SSC Departments. Join us for a chance to get a jump on your career and make your mark on a Fortune 50 company.
