I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Sacramento, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
Applied online in August 2015, in Sacramento, CA area. Couple days after, I was invited to a web interview, using a phone app. There were 5 standard questions, 30 sec to 1min to prepare, and then 1-3min to answer. N option to record again. In less than an hour after I submitted my web interview, I was invited to a in person interview, scheduled for the following week. Manager was super nice, said that I interviewed well. I have no prior retail experience at all. She said would call on the middle of the following week, since she would interview more candidates. She called me in less than 24h with a job offer. Great experience. I'm excited to start

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.
