SEATTLE, Oct. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Nordstrom,
Inc. today announced it will be hosting a company-wide hiring day
on Friday, October 19, with events
taking place in every Nordstrom and
Nordstrom Rack store across the U.S. and Canada, as well as in its distribution and
fulfillment centers. In an effort to best serve customers during
the upcoming holiday season, the retailer is looking to fill
approximately 24,000 roles in its stores, call centers,
distribution and fulfillment centers. Interested candidates can
also apply online at the Nordstrom Careers page,
careers.nordstrom.com.
"Our focus is always on serving our customers, and our employees
enable us to help deliver outstanding customer experiences," said
Christine Deputy, chief Human
Resources officer at Nordstrom. "The holiday season is one of our
busiest times of year and we need to be sure we have the right
teams in place to be able to offer our customers the service and
experience they're looking for, no matter how they choose to shop
with us."
From salespeople to back of house support roles to gift
wrappers, the company is looking to fill approximately:
- 20,300 positions at its 122 Nordstrom stores and 242 Nordstrom
Rack stores in the U.S. and Canada
- 900 positions to support the company's call center
- 2,800 positions at distribution and fulfillment centers located
in Cedar Rapids, Iowa;
Elizabethtown, Pa.; and
San Bernardino, Calif.; and its
distribution centers located in Portland,
Ore.; Dubuque, Iowa;
Ontario, Calif.; Newark, Calif.; Gainesville, Fla.; and Upper Marlboro, Md.
"Our seasonal roles offer new employees a terrific opportunity
to learn more about Nordstrom and the many career paths we offer,"
said Deputy. "We have a promote-from-within philosophy, which is
why so many of our long-term employees began their Nordstrom
careers in a seasonal role."
Lenny Hill began his Nordstrom
career during the 2006 holiday season. "I didn't initially envision
the position lasting more than a few weeks, but I quickly fell in
love with selling and Nordstrom as a company. I became determined
to stay on as a regular employee so I could build a career with the
company," said Hill. Hill was offered a salesperson role and worked
his way down the Nordstrom inverted pyramid through roles across
our business. Today, he is an HR Regional Manager supporting our
Southern California stores.
Nordstrom will host a national hiring day event on Friday, October 19 beginning at 11 a.m. (local time) in every Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack store in the U.S.
and Canada, as well as at the
company's distribution and fulfillment centers. The events will
feature same-day interviews and job offers made on the spot.
