The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Washington, DC) in Jul 2008
Interview
I received a phone call a week after dropping the application off. The store manager asked me to come in that day. I went in the afternoon and on my way home she called and offered me a job. I started immediatly. Advise: Smile a lot, act big on customer service, don't say you don't like coffee if you really don't it's not a big deal. Be outgoing and professional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Past customer service experiences/hypothetical questions
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.
