I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Starbucks (Victoria, Australia) in Apr 2026
Interview
Applied for the barista position and was asked to do the AI chat first and got an email to do the video interview afterwards. However, I did not receive any further communications after this stage.
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.
