I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom Rack (Virginia Beach, VA) in Jul 2025
Interview
Very casual, very fast. It longer than expected to actually get hired because of background checks and citizenship verification. I was asked a series of questions about my abilities, past experiences, and what I can contribute to the store/team.
Very impersonal and negatively changed my perception of Nordstrom. Was kept waiting more than 30 minutes due to all managers being at lunch, they seemed unprepared, confused me with another candidate and seemed disinterested. They asked a standard set of questions that they asked all candidates.

Question 1
Describe a situation where your ethics were questioned.
Interview process was seamless, enjoyed my experience. Questions were basic - what you would expect for an interview. Come prepared and you will do just fine. Make sure you focus on customer experience.
