I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Van Nuys, CA) in July 2018
Interview
For the branch in North Hollywood, they called me over the phone for an interview. Generally you just have to show that they can see you behind the counter of a Starbucks. Genuinely not being afraid of a fast paced environment is also a plus. Didn't get the job offer because I was going to take off for school after the summer was up
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.
