I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Winnipeg, MB) in Aug 2008
Interview
It was a hiring fair, so first i was interviewed by one person - she asked some basic questions as well as some behavioural ones (tell me about a time when... what happened? what was the outcome, etc.). then i moved on to another manager who went more indepth with the behavioural/situational questions... it took about 30 minutes with this manager. she didn't seem to be particularly invested in the interview (kept glancing around a lot). in the end she said that she would give me a call by the end of the week... she never did, so i called to follow up and a person there said that they had already found someone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about a time when you took the ethical highroad when others did not, why did you do it?
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.
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.
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.
