I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Applied online for open positions. Received a call back from a Store Mgr to come in to interview, given location and time of interview. Notified that it would be panel style with another Store Mgr attending. Upon arriving, I clarified which position the interview was for, Shift Supervisor, and we proceeded. Interview process was predictable and I interviewed well and was invited back for 2nd interview. There were a few problems with choices made by management in this interview- see "why did you choose to decline the offer"
Other Shift Supervisor interview reviews for Starbucks
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
