The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Arvada, CO) in July 2008
Interview
I filled out an application in store and turned it into a shift supervisor. All the employees working then went on about how much fun the job is. After 4 days with no call back, I went into the store to follow-up. Manager was not in, but was kindly given a time when she would be working next. I called back in and she was unavailable. Gave me another time when she would be working next. I came back in in person then, and she scheduled a time for my interview (about 5 days later). Interview took about 40 minutes, and was done in the lobby in front of customers (I thought this was strange but I didn't mind it) and was pretty standard. 2 days later I received a call from the assistant manager asking if I would like to accept the job.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe a situation where you were working in a group or with a partner, and one person was not working hard. How did you resolve the situation?
Interview process was quick and simple. The manager had a guide of questions but we also chatted a bit. It made it a comfortable conversation. She was very nice and the store was clean.
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!
Had to do 1 phone interview and 1 in person interview. Basic questions, tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you worked in a team, how would you describe yourself etc
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you worked in a team and the role you played
Easy-going, conversational, friendly. They were understanding and listened well. It was easy to speak to them. However, interviewing in a busy store can get a bit difficult with everyone inside the store.
