I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Evansville, IN) in May 2024
Interview
They ask quite a few questions, my interview was over 30 minutes. A lot of why do you want to work here and the only way to actually get it is to use the STAR method. (Tell me about a time you had conflict with a coworker, tell me about a time you were creative for a deadline, tell me about a time you handled an irate customer, tell me about your work history, etc)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Think of a time you had conflict with a coworker, how did you resolve that situation?
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our interview process.
Received an email asking to schedule an interview for the following week. The interview took place in the store itself, and took about 15 minutes. The questions were pretty average.
First interview went well, just the basic behavioral questions that should be answered using the STAR method. Second interview was less questions but with the district manager. Still waiting to hear back (if they reach out at all).
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to navigate a situation where the supervisor wasn’t available.
Basically a short chat about my availability, my interest in the job, why I want to work there, how familiar I am with coffee and what my past experiences in hospitality were.
