The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Starbucks (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2012
Interview
I saw an ad posted on craigslist saying these locations were hiring and I immediately applied. Three hours later, I got a call from the store manager asking to schedule an interview at their store. As I read from others, they offered you a drink on the house during the interview while you wait for the manager to come out.
The interview lasted around 20minutes and started off with her confirming my availability (which i even agreed to stay late for closings). Then came 4-5 behavioural/scenario questions that all started off with "give me a time when...". As I have read on this site the possibility of questions, I felt that I performed well as I responded instantly and confidently.
The interview itself was relaxing and I thought I had passed the interview with the manager, and she said she'd let me know the next day or two whether I got the job or not after screening other applicants. Unfortunately I have not heard back from her at all, and not only that I still see her posting the ad up two weeks after my interview (AND her locations having a job fair too).
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Give me a time when you had to do several tasks at the same time and how you did it
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.
