I applied in-person. I interviewed at Starbucks in Jun 2021
Interview
Interviewed by both my manager and then another manager in the district for my promotion. It was laid back and easy to talk about current work experience as a Starbucks barista.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you made a customer feel welcome in our store.
Pretty easy. Come prepared with previous customer interactions in prior jobs - a time when you turned a negative interaction around, a time when you went above and beyond, etc. Play up how much you love coffee and how you are interested in advancing in the company, if that's what you're interested in.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Nashville, TN) in Dec 2022
Interview
Interview process was laid back and the two managers I met with were incredibly nice. I heard back relatively quickly after my interview regarding availability on when to start, unfortunately I had already accepted another offer.
