I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Orlando, FL) in Oct 2010
Interview
Was contacted by phone to schedule an interview the following day. Immediately, when I arrived, I was offered a beverage and told to wait for a moment. A few minutes later, the interviewer came over to speak with me. The interview itself lasted about an hour, with the interviewer talking mostly about herself. A few of the other employees stood off to the side, judging me during the interview. I should have taken that as an warning. I was offer the position immediately but another young girl, who was interviewed the same day, was called in for a second interview before being offered the job. This apparently is standard practice at this particular location.
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.
