I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Richmond, VA)
Interview
Applied. Called back within week to follow-up. Offered interview because the manager was impressed with my follow-up. Went in for the interview which only took an half hour, and then I called back afterwards (two or three days later) to follow-up. You need Starbucks more than they need you.
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.
