I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Sunset Valley, TX) in Aug 2014
Interview
There were very generic questions asked. You pretty much meet with several managers or possibly the store HR person as the interview process takes place. It is very short and to the point, nothing to be nervous about.
Really long for a retail interview- about an hour and a half. In-depth questions about work experience and my personality and morals. Interviewer was really laid back tho and really chill
I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (West Hartford, CT) in May 2019
Interview
Basic questions but then you had to do a styling scenario where you pick out a few outfits for the interviewer. They tell you on the spot if you got the job unless you didn’t do a good job they’ll probably say they’ll call you
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Austin, TX) in Sep 2015
Interview
Takes a long time to get hired. Had to go through four interviews to get the job. The questions were thought but they really want to weed out the good sales people from the so-so.
