Asked in store if they were hiring and turns out they had multiple barista roles near me and I got an email to send my CV over. I had a 25 minute call with a branch manager which I thought went well. The pay would be 12.85, training provided (and I was told in person they will teach you everything but I'm guessing they still wanted cafe experience). She mentioned about scheduling an in person trial within the next week but I got completely ghosted. It doesn't take much to send a single text to inform me that I've been rejected.
It was a phone call interview, asking a few general questions like my availabilities and experience.
As well as, a few generic customer service questions and specific questions about my experience.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JENKI in Aug 2025
Interview
Applied online, had an initial call with the founder and designer, then completed the design task and attended an in-office interview. They mentioned they would make a decision within a week, but never heard back. They often spoke about how much they care for their employees and consumers, yet they couldn’t even respect a candidate’s time. If they can’t show basic respect during the hiring process, how can they truly care about employees and consumers? Very disappointing to put in so much effort and not receive any response.
