      Shoe Sales Interview

      May 1, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Jersey City, NJ
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Jersey City, NJ) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      After a 3 min phone interview, I sat for the usual behavioral questions about "why nord?" then we took a walk around the floor. The interviewer showed me the backroom and then talked to me about things on the floor. The interviewer asked me to sell/match a shoe for a hypothetical situation. I read up on here a little bit so I was expecting that much. However I did not expect the interview question to continue on the sales floor. tbh, at that point i was kind of out of it, but gave the best answers I could think of at the time. It's been a week and no offer but it seemed like the interviewer like me and I'm able to deduce that I was probably one of the first people they interviewed during this "interview season" so i'm just checking here to see if sometimes the process takes a couple weeks... but glassdoor is making me fill this out so i can read all the reviews again, smh
