Tell me about your career at The Home Depot.
I've been with Home Depot 15 years now. I started as an associate in the Ellesmere store in the seasonal department, and I worked in pretty much every department in that store in my first three years. I learned a lot about products throughout the store. I was then promoted to lumber and building materials DS in the Morningside store. When Tool Rental opened, I became the DS in the tool rental. After a short time I became the trainer for Home Depot Tool Rentals, opening up Tool Rentals from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. I opened up about 45 tool rental centres in total. Three years later, I became the Tool Rental & PRO Merchant Assistant. In 2006 I moved to Merchandising as a merchant assistant in flooring.  + Expand

Soon after she was hired, she began working in four different departments throughout the store.   + Expand
