I applied online first, then received an email then a phone call. There was a multiple step interview process but nothing too difficult. They asked simple and the normal questions nothing too much to stress about. You will be interviewing with multiple people
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time you went above and beyond to help a customer?
The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom (New York, NY) in Mar 2018
Interview
I applied and a day later, I was told to go through a phone interview. After the phone interview I was scheduled for an interview with the store manager. During the interview with the manager, I was asked some basic interview questions. However, when the manager asked for my availability, I told him I couldn’t work on weekdays till four in the afternoon due to being a student. The manager then notified me that the job was only for those who could work morning hours and was not offered the job. The manager was nice, however it would have been great to mention in the job description or even during the phone interview that the job required you to work early morning to not waste my time.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Bound Brook, NJ) in Feb 2018
Interview
Since the store was new at the time we couldn't interview at the actual location. we interviewed in a hotel. Basically I sat down in front of two of the managers and they asked me a bunch of questions (why I want to work there, prior retail experience, future goals) and of course the typical scenario questions. Then I spoke to another employee who asked me similar questions and then they said they'd call me back if I got the job (I did)

Question 1
What other prior retail experiences have you had? What responsibilities did you have?

Interview
Very easy and fast, was given a tour around the department and back of the house. Questions are mostly related to customer service; however they do ask a lot of questions for management positions.
