I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
The interview process was extremely casual. I of course dressed the part, (business attire) but overall, the communication was casual. It was with the manager, no difficult scary questions. Basically what experience do you have, and what is your availability?
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.
