I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Chicago, IL) in May 2015
Interview
Phone interview, in person interview, shadow day, 2 week trial where you need to bring in people from your network to shop. You get commission on the sale regardless of whether or not you are offered a full time position. Good way to test out the role and make sure it is right for you.

Question 1
Where would you start if we asked you to bring someone in tomorrow?
It was a speed hiring event where they brought a group of candidates into a room and each person met with a department manager for about 10 minutes. It sounds messy but it seemed pretty effective.

Question 1
They placed a garment in front of me and asked me to sell it to them as if they were a customer.
It was not a lengthy interview process. Most of the interview questions were related to any prior retail & customer service experience. There were a few scenario based questions regarding customer engagement and customer service, etc.
There was none. The links to schedule the interview never worked. I emailed and no one ever responded even though I constantly got emails reminding me to schedule an interview - the links never worked and there was no one to contact. Not sure how anyone was hired.
