I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Spokane, WA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Applied on-line and was contacted a few days later via email to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was quick and consisted of basic questions like, "Why do you want to work at Nordstrom's?" "What is your experience with commissioned sales?" "Is your schedule flexible?"
At the end of the phone interview I was invited to come in for a personal interview with HR a few days later.
