I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom
Interview
The interview process took a little bit longer than I thought, as I originally thought that I did very well in the interview but was not called back for some time. Fortunately, I did get the job. The interview was great, but I would recommend being prepared to show your sales demonstration on the floor. Your manager will pretend to be a customer, and ask you something she/he is looking for. Provide a LOT of options, and go above and beyond what they ask. Take charge, and be confident. I suggest going in and checking out the floor layout prior to your interview, and be prepared to wow them with a selling performance that is up to par.
