Interview Details – I applied online and to my surprise I received a phone call about my application almost 2 months later! My first interview was with HR, and the second interview was with the hiring manager. Both interviews were conducted over the phone. The hiring process went quickly once initiated, although one of my interviews had to be rescheduled at the last minute.

Negotiation Details – The hourly wage for a Corporate Intern was set at $18.50 per. No negotiation.

Interview Details – First I set up a phone interview and was called on time of when I scheduled the call. That went smoothly and the phone interviewer referred me to the manager of the kids shoes department who called and set up an interview. I arrived 10 mins early to the department and interviewed with the young assistant manager. She said she would call by the end of the week but never did.

Interview Details – Initially there was an online application process which led to an interview with the HR manager at the store I worked. After the interview with him I moved on to the next interview which was with the department manager. I found out I had the job within a few days and then started orientation a couple days prior to beginning work.

Interview Details – I have now gone through 4 interviews with Nordstrom, 3 at Tacoma and 1 at Southcenter, have communicated by 2 HR personnel, 6 other employees and referred to one department by another, and still only received feedback from 1 interview. I sent thank you cards to anyone who I was involved with but it's been pretty disappointing so far. I don't know why they'd string you along if they had no intent of hiring you.

Interview Details – The process went quickly - I had a short interview with the recruiter, then a longer (30 min) interview with Marketing Manager. She spent most of the time telling me about the position, then asked me a few basic questions about my relevant background. Very straight forward and no difficult questions.

Interview Details – I applied online and was contacted about a week later for a phone interview. The phone interview was about 10 minutes long and consisted of questions about my past sales and customer service experience as well as why I wanted to work for Nordstrom. At the end of the interview she told me I would be receiving a call from the hiring manager to schedule a second interview.
The hiring manager called me 10 minutes later to set up an interview for two days later in store. This interview was similar in asking about overall customer service skills as well as how motivated I would be as a seller. I was also given a selling scenario on the floor which was a lot of fun

Interview Details – You will need to pass a test written and verbal and go thru a 4 week training you will also need to attend training.

Negotiation Details – That my hours would make up for the loss of commission pay and that I would not have to work more than 40 hours. That was not true at all. I make a lot less and still need to work a lot and use my 20 years of knowledge for no extra pay

Interview Details – I've always wanted to work for Nordstrom because it is one of my favorite stores and I constantly hear that it is a great place to work for! I applied online for multiple positions and became a bit discouraged as I was getting a lot of automated emails saying that I wasn't selected for an interview. Then, I was finally contacted about a Cosmetic Artistry position that I had applied for. An email prompted me to schedule a phone interview.

An HR associated called me at my interview time and asked many questions regarding my skills and experience. He also asked me questions pertaining to the job description.

I received a call from a Department Manager the next day to set up an in-person interview. I was confused at first because she had called me from an apparel department and my interview had been a full-time position in cosmetics. My interview questions were all pertaining to cosmetics as well. Nonetheless, I was excited for the opportunity so went in for the in-person interview scheduled for a week later.

The interview lasted about 45 minutes. She asked some of the same questions as the HR associate so I felt very prepared.

She called me back the next day to tell me that there would be a formal job offer pending background and reference check. I received the offer a couple days later!

Negotiation Details – No negotiation
