I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nordstrom (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Applied online on January, and received an interview email from Nordstrom Internship program from the headquarter (Seattle). They asked me what's the most preferable location to have an onsite interview, and set up a time and date for me. I had an interview on February with HR Managager, Store Manager, Stylist Dep Managers. I didn't expect there would be three people to have an interview with, so I was really nervous at first, but they were really nice to me. All the questions were behavioral questions especially in retail, and they were really specific.
