      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Chicago, IL)

      It was a great experience! I was there for an entire day and I was able to shadow other Stylists, eat lunch with the team, and hear personal experiences about the job/ day-to-day. Loved everyone I met! Really enjoyed it.

      Sales Representative Interview

      Feb 6, 2026
      Anonymous employee
      San Jose, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Nordstrom (San Jose, CA)

      Interview

      Pretty straightforward: you apply online, then get a quick phone screen to confirm availability, department interest, and basic customer-service experience, followed by an in-person interview—often with the department manager and sometimes a second manager—focused on behavioral questions (“tell me about a time…”) around selling, handling difficult customers, teamwork, and meeting goals; you may also do a brief floor walkthrough or shadow to see how you interact with customers and how you’d approach styling/upselling, and if it goes well you’ll hear back within a few days to a week for an offer and background check/onboarding.
