I worked at Home Depot briefly when I moved back here 2 years ago, as a seasonal worker in the lawn & garden department. I dressed in “business casual” - black pants and a black striped shirt. In the meantime, I started my home-based business, and did consider going back the following spring until I got my W-2. I made $914, and it was.not.worth.it. ---

As it happens, last night I got an e-mail from Home Depot specifying “business casual, no open toe shoes”. The interview went well, I felt pretty comfortable with it. Obviously, I’m not the only one interviewing so they said they’ll probably make a decision by next Tuesday on who advances to the second round of interviews. I want to send a thank you to the woman doing the interviewing, I’m debating if I should mail a note or drop it off at the service desk for her. ---

> [@Dangerosa](#): > > I’d drop it off. Agreed. Mailing will probably not get it there before the decisions are made. Email would be the best option (if it is an option at all). ---
