The Home Depot is hiring for flexible, full-time and part-time positions including customer service/sales, store support, freight, merchandising and warehouse associates.

The company will host a Virtual Spring Career Day event on Wed., Feb. 16 to help jobseekers find the right role for them and learn about growth opportunities once they join The Home Depot. During the event, attendees will hear from a variety of Home Depot leaders including Crystal Hanlon, who began her Home Depot career as a cashier and today leads northern division stores as president and was named one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women in business in recent years. Panel sessions will preview a-day-in-the-life view of many of the open roles, career pathing possibilities, and benefits.
