Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 days)
two one on one interviews. The first was with the store manager and the second was with a store manager from another location. Very basic questions about how you would handle customers. How you handled certain situations at another job or in other situations. What your goals are. How long you want to work for them. What hours your free. Then they ask you if you have any questions for them. You should always have something to ask them so you seem interested in the position. The interview was in the store and your offered a free drink.

Interviewed May 2009 in Thousand Oaks, CA (took 2+ weeks)
I originally went to a recruiting event further from my house. There, all of the applicants filled out paper applications. They called us over one by one and we each had a 1:1 interview, and told us that they would be sending our application along with their notes over to the Starbucks locations we were interested in. Approximately five days later, I received a call from my local Starbucks to go in for a 1:1 interview with the assistant manager. I went in and the interview lasted approximately 30 minutes. She told me she would call and let me know within ten days. On the tenth day, the assistant manager called me and gave me an offer.

I had previously worked at this location and was interviewed by a manager that I already knew. She asked about my availability, start date, and commitment to the store. After the phone call I had an agreement that I would return to work at that location.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 5 weeks)
My resume was sumitted by a friend within the company. Was called by a recruiter. Interview questions were mostly about personality and fit within the company. The hirhing manager gave me a case analysis, but the case analysis was more about the analytical process than getting the right answers. Ultimately didn't get the job due to a candidate with more practical experience. Great culture and great organization, all the interviews were, while difficult, very "fun" and enjoyable.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
i went into the job fair for the interview. as i had prepared for the interview for quite some time, i didnt find it very hard and the the interview lasted for about 30 mins or so. after the first round of interview, the store manager was gonna call the district manager for second round interview. however, the lady there later told me that she would contact me later. after a day, i got a call, and the lady rejected me due to my availability and the fact that i was not able to work more than 20 hours a week.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 months)
I submitted my application and resume online. I received a call from a recruiter who conducted a phone screen with me. At the end she told me that she would like to put me in contact with a district manager for further interviews. This took some time as the fiscal year was ending and everyone was busy. I had the one on one interview with the DM who told me that I would hear from the recruiter with his decision in about 5 days. I got a call from her the next day. She sent me a link to submit information for a background check. About 4 days later she called and offered me the job. The salary was more then I was expecting so I accepted.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Pasco, WA (took a day)
Met with the store manager one on one. She had a set of scenarios for which you needed to provide your best answer on how you would handle the situation. You are asked why you want to work for the company, where you see yourself in the future, what Starbucks means to you, etc. Then you are asked your availability day to day, hours during the day, and holidays.
