Interviewed Oct 2011 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 6 days)

Process began online, with the usual profile setup and filling in of details. Parts of the form can be a little frustrating (I took too long on one page, and got booted out of the form, so I had to fill it in all over again). Nice part was that I could apply to multiple stores at once, with just a basic check-box list.

Got a phone call 2 days later at 9AM (didn't pick up because I wasn't awake yet), phoned back and set up an interview for the following day.

Arrived a few minutes early, was offered a free drink (got a Grande Awake Tea), and say in the general seating area. Met with the assistant manager, who had a print-out of a number of questions, had a great one-on-one chat about working for Starbucks, and her background with the company. Shortly afterwards, she called over her Manager, who asked me a few questions as well (and asked for more clarification on some answers I gave to the assistant manager). Was told I would hear from them the next day. The overall interview took just under an hour.

Got a phone call the next day from the Manager with the offer, and got my schedule for the rest of the week right then.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 3 weeks)

The interview process was thorough and well planned with lots of detailed questions.

Negotiation Details

I was offered less because of a "lack of experience in retail" and it took me three years to get back to my original request even though I met or exceeded nearly all metrics set before me.

My advice ask for more they need you more than you need them in Alberta and you will never be payed fairly to your experience or success level.
