Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Neiman Marcus.
Manager
I applied online and heard back about two or three weeks later for an initial HR phone screen. Then I had a second interview with the VP two days later. They mentioned they were still interviewing others but gave me good feedback, saying I was a top candidate. Two weeks after that, I had two back-to-back interviews where they asked basic questions about my background and the company.
- Can you tell me about your experience?
- What is your understanding of our company's background?
Business Manager
I had 4 interviews: two with La Mer Executives, one with the Cosmetics Mgr, and one with the HR Manager. I was asked about the brand, La Mer, and other Estee Lauder companies, plus what I knew about Neiman Marcus' history. Then, I went through drug screening and a background check.
- How capable and willing are you to take the brand/counter from below Plan to a 15% increase annually?
- What's your plan to achieve this?
- How will you overcome the competition in the mall with 3 points of distribution for La Mer?
Traffic Manager
I met with the account manager I'd report to. We talked for about 45 minutes and they asked some pretty easy questions. It was mostly about my personality and how I interact with others. They mentioned I could learn and be trained on the actual job duties.
- What makes you want to join NM?
