My interview experience with Nordstrom was excellent. I applied for a job back in January and recieved a phone call about a week later from the Human Resources Manager. She started asking me a few interview questions (i.e. why Nordstrom?) but I interrupted her to tell her that I would be at school until May and wouldn't be able to start until then. She told me to call back in April which I did and we set up an interview for the day I got home from college. When I called she remembered me right away and said she had been expecting my call. I went in for an interview and started with the same Human Resources Manager who asked me some pretty general interview questions. I was not as prepared as I should have been and was a little nervous with my responses. After about 15 minutes she told me that there was an opening in the Men's Rail Department and set me up with an interview with the Department Manager right away. I interviewed with her and felt much more comfortable the second time around. We then toured the Rail department and I had to act out a scenario and pick out an outfit for her "boyfriend". I do not believe this is an actual test of your style and product knowledge, just a personality test. The Department Manager then set me up for an interview with the Store Manager which went extremely well and I was contacted 4 days later via phone with a job offer. If you are prepared, know your answers to common interview questions and are a personable, friendly person, you will most likely be hired. Everyone I spoke with was extremely easy to talk to.

A few questions with someone then you’ll meet with a manager in a department they think you would good for. The department manager had me pick out an outfit for a pretend customer and describe why I picked certain items
