they interview you and tell you on the spot whether you got the job. They give you a piece of paper telling you the position that you applied for. If you didn't get the job they will say they will call you back.
I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2021
Interview
I had the interview over the phone. The interview was short and I was asked general questions like what is your availability, why you would like to work with us etc. The woman who was interviewing was nice and she told me right away that they are looking for someone with open availability and since I am only available 3 days a week she told me I might not be the good match for them.
