      Sales Intern Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Pittsburgh, PA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Pittsburgh, PA) in Feb 2010

      Interview

      First, I got a phone interview. It was brief and informal with a few basic questions like what are your career goals?, then we scheduled a time a on-site interview. The on-site interview was one-on-one with the HR person. Some questions are scenario-based, some ask for past experiences and examples that demonstrate certain qualifications. Overall, they want to know that you are a competitive person that will be able to adapt and succeed in their commission based system. After the HR person, a department manage came in to interview me. That particular department was the one I was hired for. She asked me some similar types of questions. The entire interview took about an hour and a half, but it didn't seem like it was that long.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Tell me an example in which you successfully persuade someone to do something.
