      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom.

      Interview

      Scheduled a phone interview and they call within a 2 hour time frame, which I find pretty unprofessional since you are just sitting by the phone waiting for their call. Once I told them my availability, they said that they were looking for someone with more availability. I put my availability on the application which apparently they didn't even read before calling me. Wasted a lot of my time and I was just appalled by the entire experience.

      Average Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Oak Brook, IL) in May 2015.

      Interview

      I went in for an interview. The requirements were an associates in criminal justice or other degree involving law enforcement and 4 years of retail experience. I met all the credentials, which is why I was asked for an interview in the first place. When I got there, the guy commented on my degree and said I wouldn't get along with the other lp people because they have "more like phycology degrees" and not criminal justice degrees. They are more interested in about why people commit crime unlike me and my degree "who are more interested in punishing people for crime". Didn't ask me any questions, that was the only interaction. Then he offered me a position in customer service. Saying it was like loss prevention in its own way and I looked more the part of it (blonde, 5'1''). Horrible experience.

      Average Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Saint Louis, MO) in April 2014.

      Interview

      I was contacted within a day or two of submitting my initial application for this company. They called me two days after my application submission, and set up a formal in person interview. The manager was on time to my interview and the interview itself lasted about 20-30 minutes. After the interview, I then was contacted by human resources to come back for a second interview to meet with human resources three days later. I was asked the same basic questions in both interviews. After the second interview, I was then contacted two days after and offered the full time Loss Prevention Service Ambassador position. I started working the following Tuesday, which is the day they have their new hire employee orientation.

      Interview Questions

      • Has there ever been a time where you witnessed a fellow employee find money on the ground and kept it for themselves rather than turning it in to lost and found or human resource? If so, please explain how you would approach the employee and ask them about the money.   1 Answer

      Positive Experience
      Average Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom.

      Interview

      I had a series of phone interviews; first with the Loss Prevention Manager at the store level, then with a Regional Loss Prevention trainer. The interviews consisted of several questions regarding past work experiences and how you may react to certain situations. It is pretty in depth and you've got to think on your feet. After that, I had a face-to-face with the Manager. After a background check and the Manager speaking to my references, I was offered the position.

      Interview Questions

      • I was asked a series of questions about handling certain shoplift and emergency situations. Having never worked loss prevention, knowing if I was answering correctly was difficult. I just had to use common sense.   Answer Question

      Negotiation

      I was asked what salary I thought I should get. I answered 13/hr based off of Glassdoor reviews. I was started at 12.75 (if I remember correctly). I had no experience so, it made sense.

      Anonymous Employee in Freehold, NJ
      Accepted Offer
      Positive Experience
      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Freehold, NJ) in October 2013.

      Interview

      Interview first with the Loss Prevention Manager, then a phone interview with the Regional Loss Prevention Trainer. If you're interviewing to change location, you might interview with the Store Manager as well. The LPM interview was very relaxed, low-key 1 on 1 interview. The phone interview with the RLPT is a bit more intense, as they're digging into your decision-making process.

      Interview Questions

      • The questions are all behavioral based. They're looking for calm, cool individuals, not bossy, bully types.   Answer Question

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Anaheim, CA).

After about another week and half, was called again with a job offer.

      • Basic personality or common interview questions. Also a series of questions about legalities and scenarios, so be prepared.   Answer Question
