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 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Applied online. A few days later received an email for a video interview. Had 3 days to complete, did it the second day. A few days later received a call to set up a face to face interview. Set the interview for a few days later. Interviewed with the store manager and then the women's department manager. Interview went well they were really nice and informative about what they expected. Was told that they had to check my references and that I'd be getting a call from either the store manager or department manager within the next week. It's only been about 4 days still waiting for a call.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom (San Antonio, TX) in Sep 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 Jul 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.
