I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Short interview with the supervisor and director and then an Excel data entry test. The interviewers (two young women in their late 20's or 30's) were kind and nice when they could obviously tell I was nervous. I liked them as people and bosses once I began working there. The problem was just that the work was indeed boring.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom in Dec 2014
Interview
Quick phone interviews about basic questions (tell me about yourself, how do you rate your Excel skills). Got in person interviews and asked to do works in Excel (pivot table, filters)
