      Barista Interview

      3 Nov 2009
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Nordstrom in Oct 2009

      Interview

      I came in with a completed application, resume and reference page. The cafe manager was present, and since it was a slow time, we sat and had a very informal interview on the spot. I was surprised by the relaxed feeling of the meeting. she asked all the important questions regarding experience, job history, customer service stuff, why i want to work there etc, etc. by interviewing this way, i feel she was able to truly get a feel for who i am and what she is in for if i were to become an employee and representative of their legendary customer service. i respect that approach, because in turn, i felt that the true me came through, rather than play the game of saying the correct motivational and customer service career buzz words. i had a second interview with the store manager where she also got the chance to ask me random questions, size me up, and feel me out as an employee and person.

      Barista Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Walnut Creek, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Walnut Creek, CA) in Mar 2025

      Interview

      The phone call started later than scheduled, and the interview process felt rushed as a result. It seemed like there wasn’t enough time to fully dive into everything. However, despite the timing issues, they were genuinely a very nice person and made the conversation easy and comfortable. They were friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to, which helped ease any initial nerves I had going into the call. With a little more time, I feel the experience would have been even better.
