I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Starbucks in Jun 2011
Interview
Applied online, as it's the only way you can do it. Got a call back around a week later and had a short interview over the phone right away. Easy questions over the phone, like what are you studying (I was in school at the time) and what makes you want to work at a coffee shop. The manager then asked me to come in for more questions, got hired during that interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All the common questions like: name a time you had difficulty with a problem on the job, etc
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.
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.
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.
