I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (London, ON) in Sep 2008
Interview
went to a job fair, had what is Starbucks standard of two job interviews. Both interviews where about a half hour in length.
Actually hired on as a barista; was in that role for a year then promoted to Shift. Each level there is an interview process where you meet with the district manager and answer behavioural based questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Its always important to give as detailed descriptions of specific events as possible.

I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Starbucks
Interview
I had submitted my application when they used to be on paper in 2007. I was called back a week after to the number I had left on the application for the barista position. I made an appointment for the interview and was interviewed by the store manager who is in charge of the hiring. I had only one interview and was hired on the spot. The baristas that were working had a great sense of humor and were welcoming and had a good sense of humor toward the "new guy".
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked questions on how well I handled problems that involved another person. The outcome of a problem I have had with previous high school teachers and how they were resolved.
