I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Starbucks in Oct 2011
Interview
I applied online, you will choose five locations and I got a call from my priority location. I was scheduled to have an interview, its 1:1 interview and was told to come again for a second interview because that's the company policy. and yeah you will get a free complimentary drink of your choice.
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.
