The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Ukiah, CA) in Jan 2010
Interview
first you had to go online & take a test. then you get a phone call for an interview. The actual interview was more of a once-over to see how you presented. They like the clean cut look. No tats, or piercings. A special dress code is required. they hired me on the spot, even though the partner I got hired with took 4 months to get an interview. You have to be smart & quick & friendly all at the same time. A nice smile helps
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.
