I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks in Jul 2008
Interview
The interview process was a lot simpler. You'd ask for a paper copy at the store or print out the application online and bring it into the store. After submitting my application I was asked to come in for a scheduled interview. It was maybe an hour long with a lot of opened ended questions.
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.
