I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Atlanta, GA) in Apr 2014
Interview
Applied. About 2 weeks later, got an email to set up a phone interview, scheduled the phone screen for 2 days later. The phone screening was the usual, tell me about yourself, your past experiences, why do you want to work for us. I think they are just looking for a pleasant conversation and no red flags. At the end of the phone interview I was scheduled an in-person interview with a department manager at the local store (the phone screen was through corporate in Seattle, WA) the following week. The interview went well, it was basically an extension of the phone screen with more specific question about your previous experiences (ex. tell me about a time when....), and a little bit about the position your interviewing for. Immediately following the interview, the department manager had me meet the store manager. Pretty much the same questions, and they told me a little bit about them and their history with the company. I left with nothing more than a "we'll be in touch." Called and talked to the store manager a week later just to follow up, was told the department manager would follow up with me. Got the call the next day and was offered the job. Orientation was the following week. *Side Note: Orientation was your typical training videos, and new employee information.

I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (San Leandro, CA)
Interview
I was contacted over the weekend and missed their call. The employer didn't even bother to leave a voicemail and had even changed my application status to no longer being considered. A very bias, unfair, and passive aggressive decision on their part. Scheduled an interview with employer anyways. I hate the hiring manager idea to check in at the registers when the registers were not made for that. Waited in the long line with customers and customers were staring down at me--prematurely judging me. A Black customer lady kept looking at me like it was her business that I was in line and it made it felt like she was bullying me. Finally, some waiting hiring manager was not in one of those green uniforms--she had wore what she felt like that day. Asked a list of questions from paper regarding leadership skills, working on a team, and projects. They claim they are flexible but they are not--you have to find ways to take days off. A easy job overall with overrated interview questions, and I would work there if they don't bully me with the overnight schedule.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Austin, TX) in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied online at nordstromrack.com. I then got a phone call for an in-person interview. In the in person interview I interviewed with the manager of my department. I then waited two weeks to hear back and got hired and we set a date for my first day.
I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Vacaville, CA) in Sep 2017
Interview
Applied online for a new store opening, two days later I receive a call and email for an interview the next day. Interview took place in a conference room at a local hotel (since the store technically isn't finished yet) Store manager introduces himself to me and the few other workers there. He talks about the store and then shows us a video about the store. Meet two other managers and then they both go to two tables in the back of the room and we each go up to do two interviews with them (in order of what time the workers arrived at)
They said to allow two hours for the interview proces and me being the 2nd person to arrive, from arriving and leaving took 50 minutes.
I thought I struggled with the questions, taking too long to answer them, but I was contacted in two-three days to add on my background information, and in two days I was offered a position and invited to orientation for the next week!
