I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks in Feb 2012
Interview
email from recruiter, then interviewed with 2 district managers, was asked basic questions of past experiences handling both employees and customers in difficult situations, looking for real life examples not hypothetical answers. district managers seemed to be looking for a person oriented to and interested in the operations side of retail, a person looking to grow their career in operations management. looking for candidate with experience in managing a team of employees and experience in providing excellent customer service. it is a good idea to come up with specific examples of problems you have encountered at work and how you solved the problem.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Starbucks
Interview
Phone interview with a recruiter who expects STAR style answers. The questions are pretty standard and easy to find online, so prep isn’t hard. Honestly, the toughest part, if you’re already an internal employee, is getting the interview in the first place. You really have to show your managers that you’re serious about moving into the role.

I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks
Interview
For an external hire, pretty normal for an interview. For an internal hire, they basically want you to answer as if you were a robot. They want you to answer by telling a story in the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result)
