I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Starbucks (Oceanside, NY) in May 2009
Interview
Asks questions on your personality how you are with handling situations given to you off hand, it was over all not hard, and very personable because the manager was very sweet ! But I also had to go through 2 interviews which was kind of annoying
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
In what ways have you worked with moving at a quick pace?
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.
