Neiman Marcus came to my school to recruit for the Executive Development Program. There was an information session about the program and then we had to apply online and take a timed aptitude test. Then there was a one on one interview with the recruiter which asked basic questions about experience and interest in retail. After the interview, they flew me out to Dallas for an interview, which included a city tour of Dallas, dinner with the other interviewees and buyers, an in basket interview session which is a timed test which you later review your answers and reasoning with a NM executive, group projects, and a drug test. Overall, they were very thorough and professional.

I interviewed for the Assistant Buyer role at Neiman Marcus, and the process was fairly structured but engaging. It started with a phone screening with HR, where they asked about my background, experience in retail or merchandising, and interest in the company. After that, I had a video interview with a hiring manager, which focused more on my analytical skills, vendor negotiation experience, and understanding of luxury fashion trends.
