I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Redwood City, CA) in Aug 2022
Interview
Very easy, they are hiring just almost anyone. They appreciate the diverse staff, so there is no specific type of person who can get this job. Minimum age to start working is 16, no experience needed.
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.
Easiest interview I've ever had. I was only asked 3 questions, 'tell me about yourself, what are your strengths & weaknesses, what is your availability?' Lasted about 10 minutes maximum
it was great. I answered every question thoughtfully and easily. You have to have two interviews, one with the manager and one with the district manager. It is a in person interview. They ask many questions and will either hire you on the spot or you will have to call to see if you get the position.
