I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2015
Interview
A simple chat in an interview room, not many questions asked- I think the interviewer asked me If I can remember an occasion where I went above and beyond the call of duty. A quick walk around the warehouse and that was about it. No second interviewer. Got an email saying I was accepted. Was supposed to get another email about a drug test, started a week late because I didn't get that message

Question 1
How would you describe yourself and why do you want this job
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Cedar Rapids, IA) in Oct 2024
Interview
It was a 15-day process, of a virtual interview, a warehouse walkthrough, and then a background check - Very LENGTHY, so be dedicated/prepared for that. If you have pretty much next to anything negative on your background check, just be aware that a "pre-adverse action" letter may be coming at the 2 to 2 1/2 week point; sucks to invest that much time/effort/energy in applying, just to have a background issue sink the whole thing.

Question 1
Virtual interview - 1 question was something like "Describe a time in which a confrontation did/could have arose between you and another co-worker."
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom in Apr 2024
Interview
After applying it took about 2 weeks for someone to reach out. I got an email inviting me to a digital interview through HireVue. The interview consisted of 5 written / multiple choice questions and 3 video recorded questions and those were "what would you do in this situation" type questions. A recruiter then reached out to me to talk about which shift I would prefer (their pre-selected shift options) and if I would like to do a group tour. Before doing the tour I was advised to actively participate in the tour and ask questions. The same day a recruiter called me to offer me the position.
