Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
I was called in for an interview for the position of Sales Assistant and I interviewed with both the hiring manager and the HR person. It was a pleasant interview as the hiring manager seemed to be friendly and composed. The interview lasted for a little over 30 minutes. HR called me three weeks later saying that they found someone else for the job but asked me to come in for an interview for the position of Sales Associate. I complied and went in for the interview. This time I interviewed only with the hiring manager and I was more at ease because it was my second time around. I felt that we had a good conversation and connected well. After I had left the interview room, I was told to wait in the reception area. HR called me in and said that they would like to offer me the position. My perception of the people working there was good as they seemed to be cordial. Men were dressed in suits and women were dressed business-casual, no denim. I would advise anyone who would like to get a job here to smile, smile, smile. They want courteous, gracious sales associates. Also, do you research. Know what NM is all about by reading up on their history and current trends. Dress business-like and conservatively for the interview - men in suits, women in suits and closed-toe shoes and minimal makeup.

It's definitely a challenging process but it's designed to be that way to recruit the best candidates for the Executive Development Program. During and after the 12 week program, you get placed in Assistant Buyer positions throughout various areas of the company.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 2 days)
Initially, had a quick phone interview with HR. Nice and friendly. Then, we set up a 1:1 interview with the head of the department. Very professional and concise. I was immediately told I didn't have enough experience, but might be considered for another position. I got a call back a few weeks later, and the person interviewing me was the woman who got the job that I first interviewed for. Standard generic questions about experience. I wasn't given an offer, although I have several years experience with NM as a contract worker doing the same job. Later, I found out that someone who has "friends within the company," but no experience got the position.
