I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks in Sept 2025
Interview
Interview took place on the shop floor, and the manager was very friendly and chill. Asked generic interview questions, and made all of my answers customer service oriented. The manager (interviewer) asked questions from a sheet and also wrote them down there. She told me about the store location itself rather than just asking the interview questions and it being over, such as what the work environment was like. Finished with her asking my availability and whether I had any questions. The store was very busy at the time, yet it was still a relaxed interview and honestly the backgound noise helped. Was worried I wouldn't get the job because I've never had a job before and that would be my first one. I was initially rejected by email a few days later, however had a call a few days after that saying that that rejection email was a mistake and that she'd like to offer me the position.
After applying online they invited me for an online interview that was a group interview then the next stage would have been a one to one digital interview over zoom.

Question 1
What's a difficult customer interaction you've had?
The interview was short and straight forward. They ask about availability and previous employment. No complicated questions. The interviews take place in the cafe of one of the starbucks stores.

Question 1
They asked how I would handle fast paced environments
very easy and straightforward, they did a coffee tasting and was asked to describe the coffee taste. They focus on customer service, and knowing starbucks slang and the company goals is always a plus
