I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Beachwood, OH) in Feb 2015
Interview
It was a very quick interview, about 20- 25 minutes. The human resource manager and shoe sales person asked the questions and wrote down my responses, but it was mostly the manager that controlled the interview. They were pretty casual and very nice. Answered all my questions and gave me their contact information.

A time when you failed at something?
How would you handle an unhappy/angry customer?

How do you keep up with current fashion trends?
Had me go out onto the sales floor and role play a situation where a customer was going on a trip to Europe, wanted to just pack a carry on, and didnt want the clothes to wrinkle easily.
Interview was great, staff seemed supportive and like it was a positive environment. Important to have an interest in fashion and helping the customer find what they need. Very important to get repeat customers and continue having a book of business.
