I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Baltimore, MD) in Sept 2012
Interview
They called me in for an interview and that went well. Then, around a week or so later, I got a call to come back in for a secondd interview. The second interview was a lot more relaxed and was kind of a 'how will you blend in with us?' sorta interview.
Two days later I got a call to do a background check. The next day, I was told I was pretty much hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All of the questions were behavioural questions related to bad situations and how you'd handle them.
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.
