Behavioral interview. Be prepared to speak of previous experiences that you have had in your day to day operations. All questions are connected to 4 "buckets" involving Starbucks. You will be asked questions involving these four categories looking to draw out your personality and behaviors
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time that you implemented change? how did others accept the change and what are some drawbacks you might have faced?
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?)

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)
