I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2016
Interview
Easy, fun hiring process. You basically talk to two managers and they ask you behavioral questions. Was pretty much offered the job on the spot. Would recommend applying for a part-time position.
It was a simple phone call where they asked about my availability and whether I was able to work on certain days and at specific times during the week. The conversation mainly focused on scheduling and making sure my availability matched the needs of the position.
The interview process was straight forward, only one interview. The questions are simple, and after the interview I was to put together two different outfits for different events. That was the conclusion of the interview and then heard back two days later about proceeding.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nordstrom (San Diego, CA)
Interview
Went in on one of the hiring days before holiday season, did an interview on the spot and was hired. Very simple process, low stress. The manager was very nice.
