I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2014
Interview
I applied on the Nordstrom careers website, which, by the way, is very well designed compared to some of the other sites I've used to apply to jobs. About 5 days later, I got an email saying that they reviewed my application and wanted to schedule a phone screen. I was able to schedule one online for the next day. It said on the site that there was a 2 hour window after my scheduled interview time during which they would call. They called about 15 minutes after the time, which was not too bad. The interviewer was pleasant and friendly. I was asked a handful of questions, including why I wanted to work at Nordstrom. A lot of the questions involved providing examples of when you've demonstrated certain skills, so be prepared for that. At the end of the interview he said that the interview was successful. Unfortunately, there weren't any open positions at the locations I wanted to work at, which was a bummer. But he said that they would keep my info and contact me if any other positions opened up.

I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (San Leandro, CA)
Interview
I was contacted over the weekend and missed their call. The employer didn't even bother to leave a voicemail and had even changed my application status to no longer being considered. A very bias, unfair, and passive aggressive decision on their part. Scheduled an interview with employer anyways. I hate the hiring manager idea to check in at the registers when the registers were not made for that. Waited in the long line with customers and customers were staring down at me--prematurely judging me. A Black customer lady kept looking at me like it was her business that I was in line and it made it felt like she was bullying me. Finally, some waiting hiring manager was not in one of those green uniforms--she had wore what she felt like that day. Asked a list of questions from paper regarding leadership skills, working on a team, and projects. They claim they are flexible but they are not--you have to find ways to take days off. A easy job overall with overrated interview questions, and I would work there if they don't bully me with the overnight schedule.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Austin, TX) in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied online at nordstromrack.com. I then got a phone call for an in-person interview. In the in person interview I interviewed with the manager of my department. I then waited two weeks to hear back and got hired and we set a date for my first day.
I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Vacaville, CA) in Sep 2017
Interview
Applied online for a new store opening, two days later I receive a call and email for an interview the next day. Interview took place in a conference room at a local hotel (since the store technically isn't finished yet) Store manager introduces himself to me and the few other workers there. He talks about the store and then shows us a video about the store. Meet two other managers and then they both go to two tables in the back of the room and we each go up to do two interviews with them (in order of what time the workers arrived at)
They said to allow two hours for the interview proces and me being the 2nd person to arrive, from arriving and leaving took 50 minutes.
I thought I struggled with the questions, taking too long to answer them, but I was contacted in two-three days to add on my background information, and in two days I was offered a position and invited to orientation for the next week!
