I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2010
Interview
The interview was conducted by the manager who was extremely friendly. It was more focused of what the potential employee felt about the company, what he/she could bring to the table, and you he/she acted in previous high stress events (like how did you handle a situation with an unhappy client). The questions were not standard interview question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a customer or client that you formed a positive relationship with? This was completely unexpected.
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.
Easiest interview I've ever had. I was only asked 3 questions, 'tell me about yourself, what are your strengths & weaknesses, what is your availability?' Lasted about 10 minutes maximum
Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback. We appreciate your input and are happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed the interview process here at Starbucks.
it was great. I answered every question thoughtfully and easily. You have to have two interviews, one with the manager and one with the district manager. It is a in person interview. They ask many questions and will either hire you on the spot or you will have to call to see if you get the position.
