      Commissioned Sales Associate Interview

      Aug 23, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Miami, FL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Miami, FL)

      Interview

      There can be anywhere from one to three interviews depending on the urgency to fill the position. They look for candidates who can work well in a team but have independent personalities and individual sources for motivation. Candidates must be able to uphold a conversation with ease. Questions asked will revolve around past experience working on a team, competitive situations, and customer accommodations. Nordstrom prides itself on having great people who deliver great service. Dress to impress; this is a fashion company and you need to reflect the department you will be working in. That means before your interview check out the current staff and see what they're wearing or meet with the manager to see what he or she is wearing. In Men's departments, Shoe departments, and Lingerie you should be in business professional attire. There are trendy men's and women's departments that you can be dress business casual. That being said, you will be judged on your answers to the interview questions, not what you are wearing.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      This is a commission base position and candidates will be required to complete a selling drill. Different departments have their own take on the drill but be enthusiastic about what you're selling.
