I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks in Dec 2010
Interview
2 interviews, fast paced job! Original start at both starbucks I have worked at were pretty hostile at first, I'm not sure if it's me or just starbucks, but eventually it was fine, just have to have a thick skin!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How have you overcome a difficult customer and what did you do make them happy
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.
Easiest interview I've ever had. I was only asked 3 questions, 'tell me about yourself, what are your strengths & weaknesses, what is your availability?' Lasted about 10 minutes maximum
Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback. We appreciate your input and are happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed the interview process here at Starbucks.
it was great. I answered every question thoughtfully and easily. You have to have two interviews, one with the manager and one with the district manager. It is a in person interview. They ask many questions and will either hire you on the spot or you will have to call to see if you get the position.
