I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nordstrom
Interview
I applied online and the next day I got an email about a phone screening that they wanted to do. I set up the date for the interview and she called me. She asked me about why I wanted to work at nordstrom and I explained why. The we got to talking about hours and what my exact times and dates I was available throughout the week. Unfortunately I have another part-time job and the times change throughout the week there and I was only able to give vague times. She also talked over me when I was trying to explain that I had planned on either leaving my previous job or only working at my other job in the morning to leave time for working at nordstrom at night.
I just wish that you were able to write your times down when you are applying online instead of dealing with it through the phone.
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 July 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.
