I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks
Interview
I was already a barista with the company, so my interview process many have been different from an outsider. After letting my manager know I was very interested in the position, I would stay busy and often not only do the tasks most people didnt, but also the ones that are most noticed. I also began learning and showing more interest in the company and coffee itself. Eventually an opening was avalible and i was one of three chosen to try out for the position. it was a two week trial to reallt shine in our store to see who not only had the most leadership, but reliability and attention to detail. after asking all the shifts for advice and working to my limits i was offered a position as a sift supervisor. I then had a coffee tasting with my store manager and district manager to just asnwer some "tell me a time when" questions just to verify I was a good choice to the DM. After the meeting i started the following week as a shift supervisor.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The hardest questions would be telling a time you delt with an outrageous customer or fellow employee. Answering the question itself isnt hard, but trying to recall a past time on the spot may take a few seconds.
It was not as bad as I thought, they asked me about my values, we talked about experiences with customers ( they are very big on treating customers right so a big emphasis on this) and time management

Applied online, then called the store a week later, said they weren’t hiring for that position actually and then 3 weeks later got a random call for an interview. Two rounds of interviews
I applied for a position online and got a call back pretty much the next day. Interview questions are more based on your ability to tell a story than a right or wrong answer. Two rounds of interviews.
