I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks (San Antonio, TX) in Oct 2017
Interview
I applied online. I received an e-mail from a recruiter a few weeks later to set up a phone interview, with the recruiter. The phone interview was very smooth and the recruiter was great. I then recieved an e-mail a few days later that they wanted to set up an interview with the DM, in store. I interviewed with 2 DMs. They were very nice, and we started with a coffee tasting. There were lots of STAR interview questions, and they wanted you to be very specific. They said they would contact me pretty quickly, either way. I am still waiting; we will see.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time when you helped your team implement a strategy that helped or improved your goals? How specifically did you go about it and what were the results?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Starbucks
Interview
Phone interview with a recruiter who expects STAR style answers. The questions are pretty standard and easy to find online, so prep isn’t hard. Honestly, the toughest part, if you’re already an internal employee, is getting the interview in the first place. You really have to show your managers that you’re serious about moving into the role.

Question 1
Give me an example of a time you solicited feedback and encouraged the sharing of ideas by your time or group of colleagues. (What actions did you take with that information and what was the result?)
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our interview process.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks
Interview
For an external hire, pretty normal for an interview. For an internal hire, they basically want you to answer as if you were a robot. They want you to answer by telling a story in the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result)
