I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (San Diego, TX) in Mar 2017
Interview
I applied online. I was sent and email asking to schedule a time for the phone interview. It lasted about 30 seconds. They said they needed full open availability for a part-time position and needed me to be on-call for shifts. Seems very weird for a part-time position, especially for a college student like myself. Definitely not a good fit for me so I'm glad I turned them down.
It began with the standard questions about how your personality and previous experience matches up with the job. Then a tour around the department to see work required for the job, and possibly a test to see how you know the product your selling. Creating an outfit or picking a product for certain customers needs.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Kansas City, MO) in Aug 2018
Interview
I applied online. Got an email for a phone interview about a week later. Then a live interview 2 days later. Offer came 2 days after that by phone call
I applied online (for kids apparel and shoes). I got an e-mail the next day saying to make an appointment online for a phone interview. Once I set it, I got a call on the day I set it, and it lasted about 10-15 minutes. Fairly easy. Then, the woman on the phone set me up for an in-person interview. I went and was interviewed by the manager. She asked lots of interview questions, and then brought me to the floor of where I would be working to show me around. There, she asked me questions as if she was a customer and I picked out an outfit for her. The interview ended after that and I got a call back about a week later saying that I got the job.
