Great timing for students looking for part time jobs
Someone told me that Rona (or was it Lowe's) was also hiring about 1000 people?
Must be reno time!
Could be.Quote:

It was Lowe's that had the news of hiring 1000 staff (mostly seasonal):

it must be seasonal hiring. i seriously doubt it is because target is coming.
It's good that HD is hiring, but they need to think about the type of people they are hiring too. They must not pay all that well because the one near me has a huge influx of new immigrants working there. I don't have a problem with that per se, it's just that when I ask where things are, they very often don't have a clue what I am talking about, same would go for students....
HD is different than some other retail stores, people go there looking for some degree of expertise when tackling diy projects. I remember years ago, they actively recruited retired people who were knowledgeable of their departments and who added a lot of value to the corporation.
I'd love a job at Home Depot if they gave a staff discount. I seem to be there at least once a week thanks to our "fixer upper".
no staff discount at home depot, though they do offer full benefits for full time staff! (hubby works at home depot)Quote:

Hamilton Home Depot stores will have a job fair on March 9.Quote:
Home Depot has announced it is looking to hire 6,000 employees across the country.
http://www.hamiltonnews.com/news-sto...stores-hiring/Quote:
She expects most of the hiring will be done by the end of March. The company will be holding job fairs at all three Hamilton outlets on March 9 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Applications can also be made online via homedepot.ca/jobs.
Home Depot employs about 450 people at the three Hamilton outlets and about 28,000 nationally.
Yet, whenever I go there, I can never find anyone to help me. They just pass the buck, when you finally get hold of someone to help you.
Not my department, Not my job, Let me page someone, Ask Customers Service etc - No one shows up after they page and you go to CS they send you back to the dept :lol: . Deliberately understaffed to save money. Stuff all over the place, so hard to find it, not well merchandised :(
Only interested in BIG sales, so if some small stuff you want or need, you are on your own and not important to them.
My local store has some great staff in the bathroom/kitchen parts aisle! The one place I often visit...Quote:
