I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Lafayette, LA) in Feb 2008
Interview
Application process is now done completely online like most large companies. After about a week or two, you will be contacted directly by the store manager. Once you schedule a time to meet, he/she will greet you and get you something to drink. Then, the manager will have a copy of everything you put in online and will ask you the usual questions. They will ask about your employment history, availability, and most importantly, your ability to work well with others. It is a very diverse workplace, so the latter is very necessary.
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.
