Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Austin, TX) in Jan 2022

Interview

I applied for the job and immediately received an automated response for more information. Once I filled that out, I received a link to schedule an interview but every time I selected "choose a time" it would show "no time slots are currently available". I emailed the HR person associated with the email I received and she never responded. Pretty disappointing.

interviewing manager was over 10 minutes late. Needed another copy of my resume as she didn't bring her original copy to the interview. She asked superficial questions ie...what fashion designers I like. Looked confused and bored when I actually talked about work experience.
