I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2008
Interview
I came in to the store to hand in my application and the store manager was there. He looked over my application and asked me if I had time to interview on the spot. The manager asked me questions about why I wanted to work for Starbucks and a few other behavioral questions related to customer service. He then had me talk to the Assistant Store Manager and she asked me a few behavioral questions as well. When the interview was done, the manager told me he would call me later that day with an offer.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you were in a stressful situation. How did you handle it and what was the outcome.
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.
