      Beauty Advisor Interview

      Apr 17, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom

      Interview

      Small room. One on one with assistant department manager. The hiring manager wrote down some things that I said. I've interviewed for different positions in the store and every time the management team is difficult to read. I can't ever tell if they're excited to hire me or not. Maybe they're just worn out by the job. Overall very friendly and professional interview process.
