I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Starbucks in Feb 2008
Interview
I attended a job fair that was advertised on craigslist. It was held in a Starbucks cafe, and all the prospective employees filled out applications. You handed your application to a store manager (there were a few of them in attendance) and she asked a few questions. Pretty basic stuff (are you aware we have a dress code? would you call if you were running late to work?) and those kinds of things.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to work as a team.
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.
