I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Starbucks (Miami, FL) in Jan 2011
Interview
I applied online at starbucks.com and filled out an application. its fairly lengthy and asks you questions about yourself, your work history, and what you would do in certain scenarios. i checked off four locations in my neighborhood and in a few days got a call from a manager to do an interview. once there, i got offered a free drink and sat down with the assistant manager. make eye contact! however, she looks down while she writes down what you're saying. she asked about myself, and what i have done in certain situations at work and school etc. got my second interview in a couple of days and its pretty much the same thing with a different manager!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Name a time you were given constructive criticism.
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.
