Home Depot To Hire 80,000 Workers For Busy Spring Season

DETROIT (WWJ) - The Home Depot has begun filling more than 80,000 seasonal positions nationwide to assist customers during the company's busiest selling season.

As both the company's busiest hiring and selling period, spring serves as The Home Depot's annual peak season, similar to the Christmas selling season for many retailers. This year, The Home Depot is hiring ten thousand more spring associates than it did last year to support anticipated sales growth in the spring.

Job opportunities range from part-time to full-time and are available on a market-by-market basis based on individual store needs and geographical variance in climate. Job seekers can apply online at www.careers.homedepot.com.

Technical school and college students, as well as retirees, are encouraged to apply.

For those returning military and veterans who are interested in a position, The Home Depot recently launched its Online Military Skills Translator, a tool designed to help translate and match an applicant's unique military skills with positions that might offer the best fit.
