I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Windsor Locks, CT) in May 2008
Interview
The manager sat down with me after I handed in my application. She was extremely friendly and put me at ease right away. Some of the questions were a little corporate, but she basically guided me through them. When talking about the company it was almost as if she was bragging, all the discounts, benefits, and the "Perks", I was sold. At the end she describes the position and gives me an offer, which I couldn't help but accept.
Easy-going, conversational, friendly. They were understanding and listened well. It was easy to speak to them. However, interviewing in a busy store can get a bit difficult with everyone inside the store.
Basic questions about my personality, reliability, and desire to work. Not very difficult however be prepared to talk about yourself and show a willingness to learn and you should be fine.
The interview was quite easy and relaxed. They asked me about different case scenarios, how I would handle certain situations, and discussed my previous work experience in detail. The interviewers were friendly and professional throughout the process, which made me feel comfortable. As a nice gesture, they also offered me a free coffee while I was there.
