I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2011
Interview
Applied online next day recieved email to set up phone interview. If you do well on phone interview they will call you in for a 1:1 interview. Phone interview was with a hr manager she seemed nice and seemed liked she wanted to hire me over the phone so I thought I got it. Then went for the 1:1 interview and the hr didn't interview me, the shoe manager who didn't know nothing about me did the interview so I had to make a good impression again didn't go so well. Didn't receive an offer.
So easy, I went to a job fair and was hired on the spot. They need people in the kids department, that's the easiest section to get into. They just ask about your personality and who you are.
Was inside Barton creek mall, hiring manager was prompt and clear with questions ranging from how I would handle difficult customers, to my personal experiences that could apply to the job.
