Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How many years of experience do you have in coffee?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Austin, TX) in Apr 2009
Interview
I sat down with my current store manager and reviewed my performance as a barista. He then asked me a series of question to see how i would handle certain situations. He also asked me question about times i had made mistakes and learned from them. He also asked me how i have grown in the last year. After I interviewed with him, i had a sit down with my district manager to discuss what I could bring to the management table and how i could improve our store. As long as you stay positive, it's pretty hard to do poorly on the interviews.

The interview process was low stress, and I was offered a drink by a barista while waiting for the manager. We spoke about my previous relevant work experience, and how I've handled different situations with customers.

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
