I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Mount Pleasant, SC) in Oct 2019
Interview
Sit down interview with the manager of your department team, either Service Experience or Merchandising & Inventory. This ensures you are being given the exact expectations, guidelines, and description of your role from the person who will be managing you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They expect you to speak about yourself, your experiences in retail, and some moments where you were faced with difficulty and were able to overcome. A big part of the job is supporting your team.
It was a simple phone call where they asked about my availability and whether I was able to work on certain days and at specific times during the week. The conversation mainly focused on scheduling and making sure my availability matched the needs of the position.
The interview process was straight forward, only one interview. The questions are simple, and after the interview I was to put together two different outfits for different events. That was the conclusion of the interview and then heard back two days later about proceeding.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nordstrom (San Diego, CA)
Interview
Went in on one of the hiring days before holiday season, did an interview on the spot and was hired. Very simple process, low stress. The manager was very nice.
