I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Starbucks (Wayne, NJ) in Apr 2010
Interview
my interview experience was interesting and it felt like it took forever, probably because i was nervous. it wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be though. overall it was a pretty positive experience in the end i didnt get the job because my class schedule was too packed for them to be able to give me optimal hours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how do you think you can add to the work enviroment of starbucks?
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.
