Interested applicants encouraged to apply when jobs post May 19
Nordstrom, Inc., one of the United States’ leading fashion specialty retailers, will hire 1,000 local employees for its new Pacific Centre store in Vancouver, its third location in Canada, which opens on Friday, September 18, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Sales and support positions will be posted Tuesday, May 19 and interested applicants are invited to apply for jobs at careers.nordstrom.com.
“Nordstrom is a great place to build a career, something I’ve experienced firsthand over the course of my 23 years with the company,” said Chris Wanlass, store manager for Nordstrom Pacific Centre. “This is our third store in Canada, so it’s an exciting time to be a part of Nordstrom and get in on the ground floor as we continue our growth across the country.”
Wanlass added that he is eager to assemble his team and looks forward to hiring people who, “love fashion and have a genuine interest in taking care of the customer.”
Sales positions are available in all areas of operations including women’s, men’s, and children’s apparel, shoes, accessories, cosmetics and designer. Retail experience is not required for sales positions. Hiring will also take place for various support positions in concierge, alterations, building services, housekeeping, loss prevention as well as jobs specific to the store’s two restaurants and coffee bar. Nordstrom offers employees a competitive benefits package including a 20% retail discount (managers receive a 33% discount), dental, medical and vision options, and a RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan) matching program.
For recent openings in Calgary and Ottawa, Nordstrom sales managers participated in an eight-week manager training program. A similar training is being provided for 27 recently hired Pacific Centre managers, who were brought to Seattle on May 11 for a chance to learn about Nordstrom firsthand and work closely with a mentor manager. Once salespeople have been hired, they will also
participate in a training program in Vancouver that will focus on product knowledge, selling skills, and how to offer Nordstrom customers a great shopping experience.
