I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Starbucks (New York, NY) in May 2011
Interview
Applied online, got a call two weeks later and set up an interview. Got interviewed by two managers, one after the other. Was asked basic questions about previous work experiences, and how I dealt with problems/conflicts, and about my work ethics and relationships with supervisor and coworkers. They were very friendly, and offered me a drink on the house.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
If a customer were to ask you two questions at the same time, how would you prioritize the tasks?
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.
