      Barista Interview

      26 Mar 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Monica, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Santa Monica, CA) in Mar 2013

      Interview

      I applied online and about 2 days later I got a call which turned out to be a screening. I had prewritten answers for the usual retail/customer service questions (i.e. Why us? What is customer service to you? What was your first experience at our establishment? Tell us about a time where...?) The phone interview went well because of this and she asked me to come in for an in person interview. When I got there I was offered a drink but declined because I wanted it after. I was interviewed by the manager and the "manager in training" the manager was very nice and would say "nice" after all my responses (good sign). The manager in training was young and seemed bored which was natural for a girl her age. Afterwards the manager began telling me about different options for parking as far as passes, certain lots, shuttles, and such that were available to employees (good sign when a manager speaks on the future). She then asked for me to repeat my availability which was limited at the time. She told me I'd hear back within a week. I got an email about a week later saying they chose other candidates. I already knew it was my limited availability, good thing I had a job somewhere else before I even got the email.

      Question 1

      Name a time where you had a conflict with a co-worker? - This was only weird because you never want to sound negative in an interview.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Walnut Creek, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Walnut Creek, CA) in Mar 2025

      Interview

      The phone call started later than scheduled, and the interview process felt rushed as a result. It seemed like there wasn’t enough time to fully dive into everything. However, despite the timing issues, they were genuinely a very nice person and made the conversation easy and comfortable. They were friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to, which helped ease any initial nerves I had going into the call. With a little more time, I feel the experience would have been even better.
