I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Los Angeles, CA) in Sept 2015
Interview
I applied online via their website around late afternoon and got a response the next day. I received an email requesting me to do a one way video interview (which was my first). It was ok at first, its 5 questions but as I go through with question #3, it started to feel weird. Well anyway, some questions will make you really think hard and some are some easy questions. I got an email the next day telling me that my preferred location has no opening right now but will soon have more opportunities soon. What was that? fake posting? because it clearly says in their posting that they need it in that area.
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.

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.
