I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Torrance, CA) in Aug 2008
Interview
The interview process was simplistic and straightforward. I met the manager, who scheduled an interview time for the next day. During the interview, we discussed our interests, the vision of the company, the job responsibilities, pay, etc. She then encouraged me to apply for a corporate position, since I already had a degree, but I declined because of my school schedule. I was then offered a position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you planning on working here only until you find a better opportunity.
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.
