I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom in Aug 2017
Interview
Applied online, phone interview with a few quick questions about availability and why Nordstrom. Then if that goes well you move on to in store interview. Mine was a group interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had an upset customer and how did you handle situation.
It was a simple phone call where they asked about my availability and whether I was able to work on certain days and at specific times during the week. The conversation mainly focused on scheduling and making sure my availability matched the needs of the position.
The interview process was straight forward, only one interview. The questions are simple, and after the interview I was to put together two different outfits for different events. That was the conclusion of the interview and then heard back two days later about proceeding.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nordstrom (San Diego, CA)
Interview
Went in on one of the hiring days before holiday season, did an interview on the spot and was hired. Very simple process, low stress. The manager was very nice.
