I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (New York, NY) in Jan 2009
Interview
I applied for a Job at Starbucks...I can't remember which store it was at first but I was called in to another store that was a little further from my college. It was myself, and two other candidates with 2 Managers.
They asked us quite a few questions on how we would handle certain situations, what is my favorite drink/type of coffee.
Why do I want to work for Starbucks--I said I was obsessed with coffee.
I made sure to smile a lot and stress the importance of great customer service.
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.
Easiest interview I've ever had. I was only asked 3 questions, 'tell me about yourself, what are your strengths & weaknesses, what is your availability?' Lasted about 10 minutes maximum
Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback. We appreciate your input and are happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed the interview process here at Starbucks.
it was great. I answered every question thoughtfully and easily. You have to have two interviews, one with the manager and one with the district manager. It is a in person interview. They ask many questions and will either hire you on the spot or you will have to call to see if you get the position.
