I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (San Diego, CA) in Nov 2011
Interview
I applied for 5 locations online. I was called back by one location. I met with the manager a few days later. The manager asked me some basic questions about hobbies and why I wanted the job. I dressed in business casual clothes. The manager offered me the job immediately. I accepted immediately also. I felt like the manager had similar interests to mine and that I would fit in well with the other workers.
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.
