so i've been unemployed (off and on) for the past two years. i've been taking care of my son in this time. last week my wife and i 'bought' a mobile home so i needed to get a job really soon. so long story short, Home Depot called me last week for an interview and hired me today. between these times i was figuring that i wasn't going to get the job so i applied at Best Buy. so now they just called. and i have an interview tomorrow. so i'm going crazy cause now i have to choose where to work. anyways, i applied at home depot months ago and just now heard from them and it only took best buy a few days to get back to me. madness i tell you. thanks for listening. i'm going to have a cigar tonight to celibrate and decide what to do. anyways, if anyone has any suggestions on what i should do, i'm open to listen.

With the cost of everything going up I would go with Home Depot. People are more inclined to spend money on their house before going to buy that new toy. Plus I heard that HD has some good growth for employees.

I know people who work, and have worked at both for a while and in my opinion Home Depot would be better in the long run. From what I'v seen best buy is one of those companies that puts up like there good when they hire you then start to fade fast once you've been there for a while.

I would go to the Best Buy interview and check it out. Look at the pay rate, the hours, the benefits, how easy it is to get to from your home, how well you like the neighborhood the store's in, get a general impression. How could it hurt? You might find out, for example, there's a great sandwich shop in the same strip center as the Best Buy. I was going to say "a great cigar store" but that might not be such a good thing from a financial point of view. Anyway, life's all about choices. The more choices you have the better. I believe in exploring all my options.

P.S. and congratulations on the new job.
