The Office Depot Application Process

The Office Depot application is short and sweet. In fact, it's one of the most user-friendly applications that we've ever seen. Below, we'll walk you through the entire process.

After you search and identify the job that you want to apply for, you will need to create an account with Office Depot before you're able to start the application process. Registration is quick and easy, and requires only an email address and password.

Once your account is created, you will have the option to upload or paste your resume. If you already have a resume prepared, we would highly recommend taking advantage of the opportunity to upload it. It can be really hard to stand out when it comes to filling out a standard job application, and a well-crafted resume can make it much easier to show yourself in a positive light.

After you upload your resume, you will need to provide some personal information that includes your name, address, phone number, work experience, education, scheduling preferences, and references. If you don't have any professional references, adding personal ones is fine -- though make sure that they aren't family members. Church officials, teachers, or other people in a position of authority would make much better references.

Once you provide the above information, your application is complete. Make sure that you review it before you submit, as you won't be able to make any changes later on. That's it!

Background check

Before you start the application, you will need to give Office Depot permission to conduct a background check. Any employment offer you may receive is contingent upon passing the background check.

Drug test

When you submit your application, you give Office Depot permission to conduct a pre-employment drug test. Any employment offers you receive are contingent upon passing this test.
