First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Neiman Marcus.
Assistant Buyer
So, I went for this Assistant Buyer job at Neiman Marcus. It was pretty set up but also interesting. First, there was this phone call with HR, they wanted to know about my past, if I'd done retail or merchandising stuff, and if I actually wanted to work there. Then, I had a video chat with the person who would be my manager, and that was more about my number skills, how I deal with vendors when we're talking prices, and if I know what's hot in fancy clothes.
- Can you share an example of a vendor negotiation you were involved in and how you managed it?
Buyer
The Corporate Internship Program interview process was pretty long with a bunch of rounds. You start with some tests, then have one on one interviews. The whole thing took about two months, but it was worth it.
- What makes you interested in a career in Merchandising?
Assistant Buyer
The interview process is intense but rewarding. It involves traveling to Dallas, Texas for an onsite interview for the EDP program, which also includes a drug test. You'll meet with several people and participate in a team dinner to assess social skills. They take the EDP program seriously, aiming for the best candidates for this prestigious program focused on NM systems, retail math, and assistant buying/merchandise planning.
