SHORTHILLS INTERVIEW/NORDSTROM
Total 2 interviews. One was via phone, and one in person. The interview process was not so great. About 6 people interviewed me, they all asked me questions from the paper, very unprofessional. There was only 2 people that were actually nice and knew what they were talking about. One of them wasn't even interested in interviewing, they made me feel like I was from a different planet. My interview lasted about 1 hour, if some of them weren't interested then why bother interviewing me for an hour?
I recommend that know what questions you will ask the candidates, and be professional. I arrived on time, and the door was locked. They didn't begin the interview on time, they think they own the whole world. Extremely unprofessional people and their goal on the website states, "is treat people with respect and provide high end customer service." I think they need to work on that before interviewing people.
Even if I get the offer, I would have declined it immediately.

Question 1
1) Tell me about yourself
2) Your career goals, mostly general questions
The interview process was ok. It was a digital interview. Some of the questions threw me off. Come prepared about the company’s history. If your prepared you should be fine.

Interview
I met with HR where they asked a few basic interview questions. At the end, I had to do a selling exercise of different items. It was overall laid back, and they wanted to get a sense of if I could interact with customers
