    How to get in at Office Depot

    Applying early to Office Depot gives you a distinct advantage because recruiters review candidates before the applicant pool becomes unmanageable. Intern Insider sends an instant alert the moment a role matching your target is published anywhere, so you apply among the first and get seen before the pile grows. You should aim to be one of the first people to submit your materials to ensure your application is reviewed while the team is still actively sourcing. Reaching out to the right person is often more effective than submitting a resume into a general queue. Intern Insider surfaces the recruiters behind the company's roles so you can reach out directly to ask about the role or a referral, which materially improves response rates. Connecting with a human at Office Depot helps you stand out from the automated systems.
