    Easy Interview

    Application

    I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Fort Worth, TX) in May 2012.

    Interview

    First, was asked to select a date and time for an initial phone screen that consisted of basic questions about my experience and availability. Next, I was contacted for an in person interview that consisted of questions related to customer service and using good judgment. After successful completion of the in person interview, a week later I had a phone interview with a regional trainer. A week later, I was offered the job!

      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.

      Difficult Interview

      Application

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

      Interview

      Applied online. Was called to schedule a phone interview days later. Had the phone interview which was short. Simple "getting to know you" questions and brief description of the job/pay etc. Was called a few days later to schedule an in person interview. In person interview is kind of like the phone interview, but with scenarios and personality questions. Was called maybe a week and half later by Regional and had a short phone interview. After about another week and half, was called again with a job offer.

      Interview Questions

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

      Negotiation

      Asked what I made at current job, was offered a rate. I was told from the start the pay was between XX amount and XX amount.

      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.

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.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Charlotte, NC) in May 2013.

      Interview

      The interview was very short about 30 mins. Typical LP questions very pre written, not very much about background just more what would you do. Interviewer does a lot of writing when you are talking. Then you have to do a scenario based computer test.
