Meet a hiring manager, meet the specific manager for your role, answer some simple questions. No demonstration of skills required. Expect to meet a few people before signing a contract.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Murray, UT) in Apr 2015
Interview
I first got a phone interview and then was invited to do an in person interview. I went directly to the store I was going to work at and went up to the customer service area. A manager from the cosmetics department came and took me into a room and asked normal interview questions you would get for a customer service position. It was really relaxed and she was super nice. After that she took me onto the sales floor and showed me around and then asked me to pretend to sell her a product. That was a little stressful, but went fine. A few days later I got a call offering me the position.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (The Woodlands, TX) in Nov 2022
Interview
Horrible! They only had 4 positions available with 100-250 applicants for each! After I applied they sent me a generic email, stating to come to their job fair! Seriously? Why would they even have a job fair for only 4 positions in the entire store (of which 100's of candidates already applied)!

Question 1
Will you come to our open house job fair on a specific date with tons of other candidates (after they had already filled the positions)?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Richmond, VA) in Jun 2022
Interview
The interview process was quite easy, I applied then received a cll back followed by an interview with their HR and then another with the cosmetics floor manager. All interviews were easy and I was offered the job on the spot.
