Summary
I understand that most of the technological positions here at the Home Depot require prior experience. I do not have much experience as I am about to receive my degree in Cybersecurity. Most companies I have inquired about previously have turned me away because of this fact as well. A question I have been asking is, how I am to receive any experience to pursue my career if no company will hire me? I am applying for this position because I love the Home Depot company and I enjoy working for them. I honestly could see myself being a long term associate because they have treated me well so far, and they have given me many opportunities that most other companies have not offered me in the past. Again, I understand that it is not a guarantee that I will be accepted into this position, but I am willing to learn from the bottom up and take on any task that is thrown my way.
