I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Starbucks (Ann Arbor, MI) in Sep 2008
Interview
I applied online, was briefly interviewed on the phone and then scheduled a panel interview for a week later. The interview was friendly a little bit daunting walking into a room full off managers/district managers/hr personelle, but it was professional and the questions were typical. I was applying for a management position and was offered an assistant management position, with the opportunity for growth. I accepted the offer and worked for SB for 1.5 years no promotion but was moved to a closer than I currently worked at by request.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
As a manager how do you better yourself if you are the boss and no one is there to coach you?
The process consisted of two interviews. The first was a phone screen with a recruiter to discuss my background, leadership experience, and availability. The second interview was with a district manager and focused more on behavioral and situational questions. The interviewers were professional and transparent about expectations for the role.
