I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Newport Beach, CA) in Sept 2015
Interview
Applied online and completed an online assessment as well. A day or two later I had a phone interview. At the end of the phone interview, the caller said the position I applied for was filled. He offered two other options. I agreed to one and had a face to face interview with the department manager two days later. The manager showed me around the department (front and back) and we talked for about an hour. He said they'd contact me whether I got the job or not. After about a week of not hearing from Nordstrom, I contacted that store's HR department. HR apologized and said someone would call me back as soon as possible. Still haven't heard back.
It was a good interview experience. The managers were straight forward and nice throughout the whole process. The questions were directly related to the role. They were transparent about the role and expectations.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom (San Antonio, TX) in Sept 2025
Interview
it was a really chill and easy interview, the manager was very warm and friendly and none of the questions were too difficult. there was a sale practice section where you have to pretend to sell an item to a customer, but it wasn't too difficult and the manager gave me some guidance and clarification on the practice scenarios. other questions included things along the lines of how you deal with competition, conflict, unhappy customers, teamwork, as well as availability
mock sale questions: what features of this item would you point out to the customer? what concerns or hesitations might the customer have about this item and how would you help them decide? after the customer decides they want the item, how would you close the sale?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Tacoma, WA) in Jul 2025
Interview
Extremely easy. I looked the part and got the job. My manager called me the same day to welcome me to the team. They like for their employees to have their own personal style that’s appropriate and makes others want to buy.
