      Barista Interview

      22 Oct 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Saint Paul, MN
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Saint Paul, MN)

      Interview

      The whole process from filling out an application, to getting the email confirming my orientation took about 2 weeks. After I had filled out my application online (I applied for either cashier, sales floor, or Starbucks). I received a call about 3 days later to schedule an interview for the Starbucks position. I was told it would be an over-the-phone interview, which was new to me. The phone interview took about 15 minutes with an ETL, asking questions like "Why Target Starbucks", and "Describe a time you successfully worked with a team." He was extremely nice and quickly told me I was going to come in for a second interview about 5 days later. My second interview was again with an ETL, and only took about 15/20 minutes. She explained a little bit about herself, and asked me the same. Questions were similar to the first interview..."Describe a time you made a mistake, and what was the outcome?" At the end I was told I would receive a phone call on Monday if they had a spot open for me. Right when she said that I thought for sure I didn't have the job considering what I've read on here about how they hire on the spot. I also had to take the assessment this day as well. To my surprise an HR member called back Monday and asked if I was able to stay until midnight on certain days around the holidays, and once again set up an appointment for me to come into the store 2 days later. FINALLY, I was offered a position as a Starbucks TM and had 24 hours to take a drug test! Like not even 2 days later I got an email confirming my orientation! Very excited for this position!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Everything was pretty much the way others have explained on here! The two that stood out to me the most were "What would you do if you were on the floor and a customer asked for a specific shoe size but you noticed they were out?" and "What would you do if you knew the price of a product was $19.99 but the customer insisted it was $17.99?"

      I interviewed at Target

      Interview

      I submitted an application and they interviewed me over a video call. The interview was fairly easy and relaxed. Seemed like they just wanted to get a feel for my personality
