I applied in-person. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Burlington, MA) in Aug 2019
Interview
It was very basic and easy. The process was simple and I was hired on the spot. They asked me questions about previous work and insisted on learning about my personality. This is because they wanted me to fit well with their culture.

Question 1
What was a time you had a difficult situation and how did you respond to it?
Pretty straightforward: you apply online, then get a quick phone screen to confirm availability, department interest, and basic customer-service experience, followed by an in-person interview—often with the department manager and sometimes a second manager—focused on behavioral questions (“tell me about a time…”) around selling, handling difficult customers, teamwork, and meeting goals; you may also do a brief floor walkthrough or shadow to see how you interact with customers and how you’d approach styling/upselling, and if it goes well you’ll hear back within a few days to a week for an offer and background check/onboarding.

It was a fairly simple and short process. I talked with HR on the phone first then the department manager. It was for the holiday season and they were eager to hire
